Blackberry Bold 9900: How can I access critical data on internal memory when handset dead?

Sat, 30 Sep 2023 22:03:43 -0700

My Blackberry Bold 9900 has died. It had a working battery with charge but went dead. I changed battery multiple times and even tried a brand new OEM battery which works ok in another handset but still nothing other than sometimes a red flashing light which then either stops and the handset returns to being totally dead or I get a picture of a battery with a red x in the middle.

I have critical data stored on it which I need to get off....yes I had backed it up religiously twice weekly with the Desktop Manager due to the how important the data is but my pc (along with the dedicated backup drive) died at the weekend so my Blackberry is the only place where I have the outlook data (calendar/task/email) info which is so critical.

Do you know of a way to extract data from a handset that won't power up? Vodafone's 'red box' can only transfer data off the device if its powered up but if I could get it to power up, I could use the Desktop Manager to get the information myself. I've tried leaving it for periods to charge and then removing the battery and re-inserting, turning on with the charger plugged into the mains and pressing the on button whilst connecting the charger and then putting the battery in but neither have worked thus far. I've installed the Desktop Manager on my son's pc but again, because the handset won't power up it cant connect.

Any suggestions greatly received please! :)

Blackberry Bold 9900: Frozen, will not turn on normally

Sat, 17 Jan 2015 06:32:02 -0700

I have searched, and not found answers. My Blackbery 9900 is only 6 months old and has frozen when turned on, so it does not completely fire up. The line that shows turn on progress that runs from left to right across the screen, stops 3 quarters of the way across.

Hello! I have had my blackberry bold 9900 for a few years now, it is practically brand new. My friend accidentally dropped something on the screen of my phone, the glass isn't broken but the screen is black with lines of color and splotches of it as well. Am I able to get my screen repaired, or should I forget about it? I really love the phone so would enjoy having it back... let me know what you think!

When composing an email every two or three sentences that I send end up breaking in the middle, with a period, followed by a capitalized first letter of the next word. Because of this, I must carefully re-read and correct every email. Is there an easy fix?

Blackberry Bold 9900: Why headphones are not working with my bold 9900?

Mon, 23 May 2016 23:17:20 -0700

I have recently bought bold 9900, & I have never dropped it or anything. but as soon as I tried the OEM headphones, they just wont work.

As soon as I insert the headphones, the volume bar appears & it keeps flickering between headphone volume & speaker volume, & i donot get any output on headphones. I have tried several other headphones but the same problem persists.

while playing the video, the same thing happens, as soon as I insert the headphones the video stops & volume bar appears, i try hitting play again but the video plays for 1 second & again same thing happens. The phone is not under warranty :/
