Blackberry Playbook won't reboot

Hi there,
I wonder if you can help me. I have a problem with my playbook as it won't reboot. When I switch it on the red button coms up and all seems to be working fine. However after about 1 minute of rebooting, the playbook switches off. Can you please help.

This darn thing WON'T TURN ON! No lights come on or anything either.
Connect to your known good wall outlet charger.
Leave it connected for several hours.. even 24 hours.
Every 4-5 hours WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED, press and hold down the power button for 20 seconds.
If you see any LED red or yellow activity, that is good. LEAVE it to continue to charge.
REPEAT this: Every 4-5 hours WITH THE CHARGER STILL CONNECTED, press and hold down the power button for 20 seconds.

My BlackBerry PlayBook won't charge when connected to the computer via the micro-USB to USB cable

Can anybody help me? I don't know why but lately, when I try to plug my BlackBerry PlayBook into my Windows 7 laptop using the micro-USB to USB cable, it connects to my computer without any problems but it won't charge. Instead, I get a notification in the top left corner saying "Unable to charge battery with connected sorce". I have four USB ports and I'm positive that they work just fine because I plugged in some of the USBs I own into each of those four ports and they recognized the USBs without any issues. Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

The notification is by design and was added to clarify that USB charging is not to be relied upon as a main method of charging. Instead RIM's good intention has caused confusion.
USB (by design) can not provide the amount of power the device needs while it's being used. Technically, it is still trickle charging but the screen has to be off (and I'd turn off Wi-Fi too) since they are high power draining items. I have verified that the PlayBook does indeed still charge but it takes much, much longer than plugging it into a wall charger or rapid charger. In a crunch it will work but the computer has to be on the entire time. A full charge would take many hours.

Blackberry Playbook won't charge no matter what charging device or method I use

My Blackberry Playbook was charging fine and last night when I plugged it in it wouldn't charge at all. I have tried using the Blackberry Playbook charger, my android phone charger, and the USB cable attached to my computer. Nothing works. The Playbook with turn on and boot up but then shuts off again. Can someone help me?

Yo MR, howzit;
So, you got coconutbattery utility? http://www.coconut-flavour.com, donation-ware: awesome. My MBP is like 49% of original battery capacity; 132 load cycles; sounds lame but I am surviving.
Yeah, buying a battery ... Nothing like a new battery; which entails an expenditure. There were threads here last year about an AAPL credit for certain battery serial #s; search this forum. Else, keep trying: have you calibrated? The SMC reset; maybe try it again? Good luck; post back!

Playbook won't reboot

Tried Security Wipe of my PLaybook as I couldn't get myy calendar to work after two years with no problem. Now I can't reboot Playbook ...won't connect to PC as setup isn't complete. Have tried power off/on, but to no avail.

Connect it to your PC with the BlackBerry Desktop Software running and then repeat the three button reset., that should force the Desktop Software to load/install to the device.

Blackberry Playbook won't charge

My Playbook is just over a year old and I have not been able to use it for a few months as I have not been able to charge it. I have kept it plugged in to recharge for as long as 3 days in my attempt to charge it and nothing....
I have tried charging it as well from my laptop, still nothing. I have NOT gotten the green light, I have gotten a red light for just a couple of seconds and then nothing but black...black screen, black everything!
Please don't tell me to plug it in and charge it ...I have done it many times, it will NOT take a charge. Can the battery be replaced in the unit? If so where can I get a new one? What else could be wrong? I am frustrated with it.
I purchased this mainly for traveling and I am going away next week and need it.

Playbook won't connect with blackberry desktop.

since last week I have been having problem with connecting my playbook with my pc.
I have google regarding this problem but it all seem that non of my search had same problem as mine. so here the problem i'm getting.
when i connect to my pc i get pop up from blackberry device manager saying that playbook is connected and my blackberry desktop run (have auto run option on) while connecting to playbook it give me error saying "If the device is rebooting or has a dead battery. click retry to attempt to recconect once the device reboots. if clicking retry doesn't connect the device, or the device isn't rebooting with a charged battery. you might need to update your blackberry table os to correct the problem." with 3 option of retry, update and cancel.
I tried both retry and update but it don't fix anything i'm keep getting same error.
now when i searched on google they said it might be mine usb cable but i'm very sure its not since blackberry device manager can see the playbook, and blackberry desktop can update the playbook.
just to give more info here is setting I use on my playbook.
under security
password enable (this was enable even before i had this problem)
development mode enable
under storage & sharing
usb connections: automatically detect
File Sharing On
Wi-Fi sharing On
Password Protect Off
that the only setting i have set it up on my playbook.
playbook os. 2.0.1.358
blackberry desktop version. 7.1.0.32
blackberry device manager. 6.0.0.48

Playbook Won't Create BlackBerry Account

Dear BlackBerry Community
Today I was trying to create an account for a brand new playbook, I did not have a WiFi connection near so I went to a public place for connection.
First I tried in my BlackBerry ID name then I tried to create a new ID.
Eventually I went to a friend who had a secure WiFi connection and thought this might help.
I ended with a error code, either 1 or 01 and a dialogue box asking me continuously to check my connections or retry, I even rebooted and tried again.
I already have one BB Playbook in my name, would this be the problem but I also tried to create another account.
Please could someone tell me why would not my account accept.
The new account I went about creating on a PC via BB App World, I almost got there but could not complete the connection.
Please Help
Yours Sincerely
jtv

My Playbook is stuck on the Blackberry Playbook Start up Page! And won't reset!

Hi All,
i need help for my playbook.
At first my battery wasn't holding any charge , i had lost the charger that came with it. Someone told me to buy the
rapid charger which i did.
I tried all the reset tricks Vol- Vol+ and Power for 15seconds - 20 seconds everything that you may read on the net.
I plugged it on the Rapid Charger and now all it showing is the Blackberry Playbook sign on the screen. If i remove it it just shuts down. When i plug it back in it restarts and shows the the battery icon with the connection and then starts and stalls at that same Blackberry Playbook sign.
PLEASE HELP ME AND MY 4 YEAR OLD SON PLS.
Thanks a bunch

Have you connected your playbook to a desktop computer?
My understanding is if you have a computer with Blackberry Desktop installed, You can connect the Playbook and reload the OS
This link on the Blackberry site has more details

BB Playbook won't connect wifi after upgrade to OS 2.1.0.1526

MY BB Playbook won't connect via wifi to my home network after upgrading the OS to version 2.1.0.1526
It worked fine until the upgrade.
Now, every time it resumes, the connection is lost and I get the message Unable to obtain an IP address.
The only method I have found around this is to reboot my modem.
TIA
Bill

Can i change operating system from useless blackberry to other operating system on playbook tablet.

Playbook won't connect to server or web, although shows wifi connected

I have a PB that I had been using in US and all the features were working without any problems. I recently traveled to India. The PB worked fine at the Frankfurt airport (in transit). However, since I have reached India I have tried to use it at the residence and have been facing problems. I have saved the wifi and the PB shows itself connected, but, when I try using the PB video chat it says "couldn't connect to server". The emails are not updating. When I try to update them it again says "unable to connect to the email provider server". I am not able to open any web page either. They all time out.I have tried rebooting the PB and the router.
Has anybody else faced similar issues? I am getting desperate as I didn't bring my laptop and was relying on PB to get most of the work done!

Hi steelman15 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
To test, and verify that its not a problem with the Wi-Fi router, can you try connecting to another Wi-Fi hotspot. The web and video chat should be available on the BlackBerry PlayBook while travelling to India.
Thanks.

BlackBerry PlayBook wil not switch on

I can't get my BlackBerry PlayBook to switch on properly. I read a message on the forum which is a few years old:"If you unplug the mains charger, re-insert the charger until the red light goes out for a approx 10-15 times, then when you hold the power on button for approx 15 seconds you get the dead battery symbol, leave the charger inserted, then you get a flashing green-ish LED light, after approx 1-2hrs, it will switch on!!" My PlayBook is coming on to the stage where the BlackBerry PlayBook words are on the screen as shown in the attached picture. I am not getting a red light going out when I unplug the mains charger and re-inserting it. Please help.

You need to follow these instructions to "debrick" your PlayBook:
1. With the Desktop Software still open on your computer and the PlayBook powered off, connect the PlayBook to your computer once again.
2. You should see an error screen from Desktop Software popup with the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
Very quickly choose the Update option. If not, press and hold the power button for 20 secs.
3. All information will on your PlayBook will be erased and a reload of the Software will commence to install on the PlayBook.
4. Once this is complete your PlayBook will go back through the initial (as if new) setup wizard (entering the BlackBerryID, etc., and then you can perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your personal data from a previous backup. Applications which you downloaded from AppWorld won't restore, but they can be easily reinstalled using AppWorld > MyWorld section of AppWorld.

Try this, while connected to your charger. Press and hold the Power key, up and down volume (-/+) all three buttons simultaneously, for about 10-12 seconds. You should the red LED blink and that should allow a reset of the PlayBook and to power up.
