the 4 blinks and the PIN UNKNOWN is not good.
However, your comptuer can see that there is SOME SORT of blackberry attached. That is good news.
check the water damage sticker, thats probably red.
Also, assume that the phone is dead and will not come back; all your data and apps are lost.

Now,
go get the latest .882 release for this phone and install it. Make sure that no other operating system packages are loaded onto the computer.
launch loader.exe from an ADMINISTRATIVE commandline. use the /nojvm commandline flag.
do not attempt to customize the OS or do anything other than install it. If that works, then you can go back later to make changes.
it is unlikely, VERY UNLIKELY, that this will not work *unless* there has been some hardware damage. Because your computer can see that there is a blackberry attached, it means that the very basic bootloader is up and running - meaning that all is not lost.
this has happened to me before, and i was able to recover,
