I had to get a friend to repair the charge socket on my BB passport. It charges now but I cant transfer data. He had to actually take it apart and resolder the tracks to charge socket. The socket is very lose, the USB plug does not fit snugly any more, I used it every day for two years after I bought it. Now we have USB c chargers for phone, hopefully they will last longer!

Mine is also dead. when plugged in I get one long LED then three short blinks, then two then the cycle repeats. At no time does the screen turn on. Anyone else have this issue ? It sadly looks terminal, but I thought I would ask just in case.

Did you ever solve this issue? Mine has the same problem but I ditched it and went with Android. i'm now thinking it may be the battery.
Actually I had to reinstall BB10 and it came back up. I don't know the initial cause but I noticed my phone was hot when I completed the last call before it died. The one thing that it took me a while to find out was I HAD to install an OS version that was consistant with what was originally on it. You can no longer go back to a previous version as new security measures prevent this but there is no indication during the process of this so if your phone was at 10.3 you cannot go back to 10.1 or 10.2. Sadly even though it booted back up it suffered from the Emergency Calls Only issue so I was still dead in the water and stuck going to the KeyOne. an OK phone but not as smooth an OS as BB10 was.
after flashing my blackberry passport it wont come on again and all it show is the red led,i used AUTOLOAD STL100 for the flashing ,please help
Please my blackberry passport cannot on , it only indicates red lighting while charging and disappear for a while and won’t come up
mine passport blinks 1 time then 6 more
holding power button for 10-15 sec does not do anything at all
I tried doing it with power + volume up and nothing
tried doing it with power + volume up and down still nothing
Event changed the battery on it with brand new battery and same exact thing
Im a tech and been for 14 years so i know my phones but blackberry with their blink codes are wack !

I'm actually in that predicament myself. Plugging it in gives me a red light for 10 seconds then it disappears while at the same time the screen is either blank or flickering. BlackBerry Link and autoloader don't do anything as they ask or try to reset the passport and it won't. Just revived a priv and it's the bees knees so I still have faith I'll fix this issue too.

Connect you passport via USB cable and check whether it detecting by the computer ?

I ended changing the battery but this phone is a traitor. Never in the life let the phone discharge the battery till the phone turn off because the board won't let charge the battery again.
You will only see is the red light turn on when you put the charger. That happened again with the new battery put this time I used a charger of my iPhone with the cable of the Passport and the phone turned on again, but that was a lucky. The battery charger that comes with the Passport is trash.

Hi, somehow my phone went from 99% to zero in one day when I wasn't even using it. Now I tried to turn it on and got dead "Red battery" symbol. SO I charged it for an hour or two but I'm worried, there are no LED lights to show it is charging, no green LED, no red LED. What has happened? I still can't switch it on.

No I bought a new phone. The phone was two years old and probably designed to stop working after that!
