I'm trying to fix this 8900 I got the other day and whenever I plug it up, red notification light comes on. Then it powers on but the start up bar moves a little bit and shuts off.

I've tried going through loader.exe to update it and it detects the BB for a little bit. Like it goes through the process of updating (Loading JVM & system software). After that it goes to "wait for device initialization" and connection prompt pops up displaying it cannot connect to device. I hear the phone connecting and disconnecting which loops continuously.

What can I do to get this update to make it work again?

i just got that fixed on mine!!! What you have is a hardware prob nothing expensive, is the base under the roller you have to change, ITS NOT A SOFTWARE PROB!!

Sounds to me like a bad battery. Did you get it new or used?

Any sign of moisture damage?
