How to Soft-Reset a BlackBerry Storm

Reset your BlackBerry by taking the battery out.

If you are having problems with your BlackBerry Storm smartphone, you can use a soft reset to get the phone back in working order. A soft reset involves taking the battery out of the phone while the phone is turned on. This resets the phone and allows it to reboot. A hard reset would include reloading the firmware on the phone. Once the phone resets, it will be back in working order.

Instructions

1. Leave the phone turned on and turn it over.

2. Press down on the battery release button and then take the battery cover off the phone.

3. Lift the corners of the battery to take it out of the phone.

4. Wait 10 seconds and then put the battery back into the phone.

5. Replace the battery cover and wait for the phone to reboot.
