Can't charge BB playbook

I need to send in my playbook for service by a tech.. Charging plug in, on BB is jammed with broken pin ...can't charge BB.

Hey LM344,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you're receiving the flashing green LED light, it sounds like the BlackBerry PlayBook battery is completely drained. I suggest plugged the BlackBerry PlayBook into the wall charger for several hours to get a charge again.
Let me know if the issue still persists after charging it after several hours.
Cheers.

I can't plug in my charger and USB into my Playbook. Therefore, I can't charge me playbook.

Yesterday, I just found out that I can't plug in my charger and USB into my playbook when I want to charge my playbook. Last time that I charged my playbook was 2 weeks ago,I think. And my playbook was 6 months old. I brought it in Christmas, it is Christmas gift for myself. It was my first time buying a blackberry because I thought as a Canadian, I should buy and use more Canadian products, I used to use Ipod and Ipod touch. I am so disappointed with RIM, because it is only 6 months old, my first ipod is about 9 years old now, but it still works very well.
Anyway, I have no idea why this happened, and no idea about how to fix it. Any one can help? I will be really appreciate.
Since I think my playbook is still in warranty, I want to find a RIM station so that they can help me fix it. But I have no idea where it is? I live in Misgauge, near Etobicoke. and also, I just realized that I lost my receipt. I brought it in Bust Buy.
any one can help?
Thank you!!!

Thank you for your response.
I think the female connector on the playbook is the problem, since I am pretty sure that there is no damage on my charger and cable( because I only used my usb cable a few times, and it is always in a drawer. also because it is my only and first playbook, I don't have other cable to verify your question. sorry for that, but I will try to borrow my friends' blackberry cable to verify it, if I can.
However, I have no idea why the female connect broke. It has never ever in any harsh conditions. there is no reason for that.
also, if you would like, could you tell me how I can connect RIM? (i.e. tell me their number or where their service centre is) I would really appreciate.

Cheap way to rapidly charge your PlayBook.

I want to share some findings with you in case this helps someone else in future. I tried to charge my PlayBook with the HP TouchPad USB plug (barrel type) and it works perfectly fine (Green lightning bolt icon appears - no errors). So if you want a cheap way to charge your PlayBook, buy one of these.
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Adapte...rackberry00-20 ($8.99 with cable)
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Adapte...rackberry00-20 ($4.99 without cable)
Here are the specs of both charger types:
BlackBerry Rapid Charger (the one with fold out prongs and ships with the device):
Input: 100-240V - 300mA 50-60Hz
Output: 5V - 1.8A
http://ca.shopblackberry.com/Product/BlackBerry-Premium-Charger/ACC-39343-301
HP TouchPad Barrel Charger:
Input:100-240V - 0.4A 50-60Hz
Output: 5.3V - 2A
The benefit of using the TouchPad charger is that the cable comes off so you can use a normal charging micro USB cable bought from Monoprice.com for $1.73 and you can get a lot longer cord (in this case 15 feet). http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2
You could spend $38.99 on a genuine BB replacement or $6.72 (devices bought seperately - not including shipping charges though) for one that has a 15 foot cord, is multi-use and comes apart...

I'd recommend for anyone to get the magnetic rapid charger and leave the more fragile USB port to data transfer.
http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Rapid-Travel-Charger-Playbook/dp/B004XBZ728
$25USD, and sometimes as low as $20 according to the seller.

How can I charge my chinese iTunes account with a 25 euro gift card I bought in Germany?

How can I charge my chinese iTunes account with a 25 euro gift card I bought in Germany? Thanks.

iTunes gift cards can only be used in the store in the country in which they are bought - so if you bought a German iTunes gift card then you will need a German iTunes account. If you haven't got a German iTunes account then do you know anybody with one who could give/sell it to ?

thanks guys but I did that. it worked for a bit then it stopped. i dont know why that happens? I've tried 3 adapters already.
Make sure you are using the proper adapters. The problem could be your MagSafe. Take the MBP along w/the Magsafe & adapters to the local AS or an AASP. Let them check it out. Diagnostic testing is FREE!

Can you charge a macbook by any other means than the power cord? For example the usb drive? My cord works fine but the outlet on the laptop is not.

The only way to charge a MBP is with a MagSafe power supply (wall or airline) try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713

My iphone 5 went flat but i can;t charge or turn it on ? please help

my iphone5 went flat but i can't charge it or turn it on . has anyone got this same problem , please help ?

Hey rockyjamesolsson,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing power issues with your iPhone 5. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
4. After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc. can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc. can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

Can't charge the actualization page of the App Store.

Since few days I can't charge the actualization page of the App Store. AnyOther page works normally.... O_o

If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and run Software Update.

I really have a shock and i'm surprise from the service of Apple , i thought that the Apple is the best but that unfortunatelynot true
I'm a manager in company and we have 2000 employees most of them are using IPhone but after this service I will let them shift to Samsung , they offer me a very good offer with 2 years warranty and to replace my device if they can't repair it even out of the warranty
I beleive that Samsung is better than Apple

I can't charge my ipod without having to bend the chord what should I do

I have tried 2 chords already and I just got a new one thinking that the problem was the chord, I'm not really sure how this happened, but it did and now I can't charge my iPod.

Hey Godsgrl1, A short and/or debris in the iPod's charging port are the first things that come to mind. Have you tried a different charging device? The thing that supplies the power, not the cable. If issue continues, check the charging port on the iPod for debris, pocket lint can interrupt a solid electrical connection. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the port, with the power off. You should see the silver bumps on the short ends, (one on each end), the gold contact pins on one of the long sides and the bottom of the port should appear dark gray or metallic and smooth. If it appears to be a mat finish, could be looking at packed lint. Try blowing it out, If that fails, use a non-conductive probe, I like a round wooden toothpick and carefully remove the debris, usually lint, from the port. Be very careful to NOT TOUCH the gold pins, damage, bent or break then and your screwed! Also, make sure the locking clips, (the silver bumps) are free of debris and push back when touched. If your cable is OK, and is an Apple product or approved for iPod use, Should get you back to charging. If there is no debris, the power supply is good and cables are free of shorts, and still will not charge, try resetting first. If still no joy, then attempt to restore, from backup. If still zip, make sure you have a current backup and restore to new. If a full factory restore does not work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Also, check that there is little to no movement of the port on the iPod, if you can see movement, or damage (missing pieces, cracks, etc.), the port maybe damaged. Schedule an appointment with Apple to have your iPod evaluated, be sure to bring the cables and charging device if possible. Hope this helps. Good luck, Cheers.

Can i charge my C3-00 Battery with AC-8 charger?

Hi Can i charge my c3-00 Battery with AC-8 Charger? because charging it with AC-3 takes about 3 and half hour! and as we know the battery which supplied with C3-00 is same as 5800 and n900

It is not the charger that controls the rate of charge but the handset. If your handset battery meter needs calibrating you will need to take it to a service centre with a fully charged (16 hours plus) battery and it can be recalibrated.
