My blackberry 8700c about 8 months old just died the other day. It first started saying battery depleted! shutting down handheld when you turned it on, but now whenever the battery is in there is a battery in the middle of the screen with a white background with lightning through it. It does not respond to any buttons. What do I do!?!?!

Do you have a spare battery? Does the battery charge properly when you plug the charger to it?

i just posted the same thing so one can help out funny we have the same trouble

yes it charging in and home base

I don't have a spare but when i tried the same battery in another blackberry it worked so i'm pretty sure it's a problem with the phone not the battery.

It's likely time to try this:

How do I wipe the BlackBerry using Jl Cmder? - BlackBerryFAQ

What to do next if Jl Cmder will not connect and wipe - BlackBerryFAQ

John try that no luck, wont read phone fromm cpu sounds to has to be bad battry

Try it with the battery removed.

that didnt work might have to send it in for repair

Did you try the second method with the battery removed? Then when the computer sees the device put the battery back in.

Simply . . . Warranty!!!!

I've had devices act up or go bad on the 50th week and called service providers for replacement under regular warranty . . . they've sent replacements, either new or refurbished, with warranty for 90-days or the remaining original warranty period, whichever is longer .. . just need to pay shipping cost. . . .

That works too!

Thanks John for your help, i had to take apart bb found out had some water inside, so i had cleaned it up and clean board, then bingo i got 507 code was so happy when i saw that reinstalled os and everything is working get.

Thanks Craig
