Another bloody little box with buttons

[skyring]

Kerri's work issued her with a Blackberry. That's so they can pester her with emails night and day.

It stopped working and she gave up on getting it going. I did searches "Blackberry 8300 dead" and found all sorts of stuff, but nothing much to bring it back from the grave. Found an online manual. Pressed all sorts of buttons and combinations thereof. Yelled at it. Nothing worked.

Funny. It had been recharging all night. Looked at the recharger, made sure that the power outlet was on and everything connected okay. Even reseated the little adaptor to make it fit Aussie sockets.

Aha. Musta been a loose connection in there somewhere. It lit up, screen brightened, all sorts of guff on it.

Right. Now how do I make it dead again?

Dropping it down the toilet seems to work in our house!

But did you try throwing it at something?

Beware the Crackberry

Sad to hear Kerri's being indoctrinated... our SES have them and it's very frustrating being in meetings with people who keep checking their messages instead of listening to what you're saying! Oh well... I'm sure Kerri has far better manners than that.

And if you work out how to break it again (without use of implements of destruction such as hammers... a bit obvious) do let me know :)
