If that does not work you can try and narrow it down (eg delete apps or backup/delete/restore address book) or you can update the os and all should be back to normal. @Jasmine That means a file has been corrupted in one of your apps or the os itself – Try a battery pull while the device is still powered on.

I am now using a Blackberry Curve and the same media card, now I want to unhide a folder hidden while using my pearl, however when I go to properties it has the hidden box inactivated so I cannot go in and uncheck the box. Can you help? I used a Blackberry Pearl for awhile, and on the media card created several folders, some hidden and others not hidden.

In the future if any of your electronics get wet simply submerge them in a bucket of rice. The rice will absorb all moisture from inside the device and most importantly from off the components. When you turned it on you essentially ran a current through a wet circuit (potentially). Check out this post on recovering a nuked BlackBerry: http://www.blackberryos.com/forums/blackberry-how-guides/6175-how-recover-nuked-blackberry-pictures.html If that does not work then you have most definitely ruined the hardware and will need a new device. BTW - when using rice to absorb moisture you should leave it submerged for two or three days without powering on. @jennifer It is quite possible that corrosion is the cause of the problem.

We dried it and it worked fine after that. The other night though, it all of a sudden completely died. The Sprint tech said it's bec something got corroded inside. Is that true and promptly sold us insurance coverage for it. Is that true though? Isn't there any way to fix it? It won't power up right now and the battery is fine (I tried it on another BB), I've taken the battery and the mem card out and it still won't power up? Appreciate your help.

If so I suggest wiping the device and updating the os to bring it back to default. @Daniel – does it respond when plugged into a usb port?
