Hello!

Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):

1. With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
2. Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
3. Remove the battery
4. Wait 15 minutes
5. Insert the battery
6. Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does

This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.

---

It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:

1. Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
2. Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens

The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.

Good luck and let us know!

Not really grammar...punctuation. When there are no periods to denote sentences (to say nothing about commas), it becomes very hard to understand what you mean to communicate.

Ummm...again no punctuation. So, you have 2 batteries? One that works and one that does not? If one works, why do you even need this process? I'm confused...

This may or may not work...and you likely will need to extend the time well beyond the pair of 2hr charging cycles. Non OEM chargers work differently than OEM chargers.

Hopefully this will actually work for you...if not, then please return to the process and carry it out exactly as written (e.g., the OEM charger).

Good luck!

I could go on with a "well when I was 13" diatribe, but I think I'll skip it...

Good luck!
