Blackberry bold 9700... Red light of death?

[Candi]

Just bought a new blackberry bold 9700... used it once but wanted to wait until I got my full white housing before I started using it as my everyday phone.

I put the housing on and afterward had a CONSIDERABLE amount of trouble turning it back on... only RED LIGHT OF DEATH.

It booted up after a while but SHUT DOWN once I started entering numbers into my phone.

I left it at home when I went out to let it charge.
I came home, used it with no problem, UNTIL I started to put numbers in again.

It shut down.
RED LIGHT.

Anyone know what to do/ what's wrong?
