My phone completely lost battery strength while I was sleeping. I tried to charge it this morning, but when I plugged in the charger the red light on the phone did not light up. I have checked to make sure that the battery is placed in correctly, I have tried to press the power button on and off, but I get nothing. Moreover, I have tried different sockets in the wall and still nothing.
This happened once before when my phone completely ran out of battery life. However, after about 10 tries, the phone finally lit up when I stuck in the cord.
Does anyone know if this is normal or if there is a solution out there anywhere?

We are discussing this sort of issue in the thread.
Did you update the software recently? Verizon in its new software update(which your phone may have if it's new) has changed how long it takes for the battery to charge. When the battery totally dies it takes quite a while to get the battery back up to a point where the BB will turn on, and even longer to get to one or two bars. I was told the slower charge time is because VZW was having trouble with batteries getting fried because the voltage for charging was too high when the charging time was quicker.
You may just have to be really patient with the charging time, and try not to let the battery die completely.
You could have a defective battery...also a defective BB. I've had my 7250 for about 4 mths now and never had an issue with that. If it wont charge and you cant start it up...its probably a battery thing. Go back to Verizon and let them know what your issue is and they probably will give you a new device or at least a different battery to try.
