Blackberry pearl won't turn on

PROBLEM

my blackberry pearl lost charge while still under warranty and i was sent a new one today. i put my sim card in and the new battery. a red light on the front flashes. i put it onto charge for a few hours, but now can't turn it on. it is brand new. is there a special way to turn it on the very first time.

SOLUTION

  1. if you have a memory ship in the phone and it wont turn in and is blinking red take out the memory card and start it
  2. I had the same problem.... I took the battery out for a few minutes & when I put it back in charged it for a minute & tried to turn it on & it hey presto!!!!
