Why wont my blackberry turn on?

It ran out of battery last night, so ive put it on charge (via computer) and theres red light which normally means the phone is telling me its charging. but it wont turn on. ive taken the battery out and put it back in, same with the sim card, ive pressed the ON button and it still wont work, its been on charge for a total of 1 hour on and off, but it still wont turn on, theres absolutely no life in it what soever, is there something i need to do but havent tried yet?

Blackberry curve 8520

Update:

yer if i had my wall charger with me, i would use it, but seen as its 50 miles away i cant do that

    Once the battery get so low that it won't charge on USB, you will be FORCED to use the wall charger to get the phone to take a charge. This happens more and more as the battery gets older, even it it used to charge all the time when the battery was newer (charging with USB). It may also be a good thing to get a new battery as well.

    Best thing is to NOT let the battery get so low that it's dead, because USB won't always be able to recharge it.

    make sure phone is off by pressing red end call key (no red light showing) put on charge using wall charger (not pc its a trickle charge) leave on charge that way for 30minutes, disconnect charger, remove battery, and replace. it should reboot. if so, continue charging till full. its not a good idea to let a blackberry battery drain.
