Restart Your BlackBerry Without Pulling the Battery
Posted by: | Comments
Did you know you can force a restart of your BlackBerry without having to take the cover off and pull the battery?
If your BlackBerry locks up and you want to give it the three-finger-salute (aka. CTRL-ALT-DEL on a PC), then look no further.
Hold down the left ALT key, than press and hold the following keys simultaneously: RIGHT-SHIFT and BACKSPACE/DEL. Your screen will clear, your LED will blink RED and your BlackBerry will reboot.
Of course if this doesn’t work, rip that battery out!

Hopefully, this will help some of you with the same problem.
