Charging PlayBook won't allow standby

My PlayBook is currently charging and every time I press the power-button to go to standby-mode, the screen comes back on and wants me to log in again.
I hope this is a bug and not a "feature".
I know that charging while turned off is not possible (another idiotic "feature") but I hope at least there is a solution for my problem.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have the latest BlackBerry TabletOS and am using a 5V-1A-output charger (only difference to original charge is the 1A instead of 1.8) because the US-wall-charger won't fit into my Austrian wall sockets
When charging via my Mac's USB-port does not turn on the PlayBook-screen (but takes forever to charge because the USB-output isn't enough).
There are no applications running, WiFi is turned off and the Bridge isn't installed/activated because I don't own a BlackBerry smartphone.

     Playbook won't turn on, boot, or charge. LED flashing red.

    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.

  • Ipod has itunes symbol on screen and charge cord but won't allow me to get on screen.

    I went to restore my Ipod to original setting and after it turning off and coming back on, It shows itunes symbol and white charge cord coming up from bottom and it wont allow me to get off that screen. Even after turning off and back on. As well as it won't allow me to sync any of my music before or now. It says, no device detected or connected. Please help...

    - The iPod's screen is telling you you need to connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes.
    - Try rebooting the computer and resetting the iPod and then restoring.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next see if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore

  • Playbook won't charge

    Bought a refurbished playbook. The playbook won't charge! the mini usb cable dosn't go in the port of the PB all the way. I have tried using a differnt cable - and it dosn't work. the cable is ok as it is charging my cellphone right now. Can you help my? Is ther a hardeware problem? What to do?

    Did you purchase the playbook with some type of warranty?   Normally refurbs come with a 30-90 day.  
    Did it power up and work fine when you received it?  I ask because if it did I would assume that whomever you purchased it from utilized what's referee to as a "rapid travel charger" on Amazon (as well refered as a charging pod, extra at places like Walmart...ect...just Google "Magnetic Charged for Playbook").
    It quite honestly sounds like a common issue Playbook has in that the connection inside the playbook for the chargef has broken.  As well, housing cannot utilize the USB port connecting it to your computer to charge as the connection is not strong enough to charge the playbook via the computer.  
    You are left with one option (besides sending it back from where it came, which I highly recommend because it obviously WAS NOT refurbished like you were told) that option is to purchase the Rapid Travel Charger - Amazon is way cheaper for this item.
    My first Playbook was a Playbook 16gb.  First the connection went out like yours.  Rapid chger fixed that issue, then the whole unit went dark.  All this after approx 15mths (remember, mine was new).
    I just purchased a new Playbook 64gb.  The whole unit seems better made.
    The issues you and I had were normalwith the older units.

    How does it show up in your library if it's not there?
    What happens when you selec it and press Play?

  • IPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    iPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    Try in order:
    - After charging or half an hour, reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and if it shows in iTunes, restore the iPod via iTunes.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovory mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • TS1363 What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either?

    What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.

    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.

    The Mac App Store prices do not include local sales taxes. The tax is added to the total before your sale is complete. Your gift card credit total is not enough to complete the sale, so you are being given the opportunity to add a bank card that will be charged the remainder of the amount. Your other option is to get another gift card and bump up the credit balance in your account.

  • Playbook won't power up after software update

    i downloaded the OS software update and clicked restart when installed. Since then the playbook won't work at all and can't switch on even though the screen feels warm as if it's working but not displaying. Anyone else had this problem?

    LEAVE it connected to the wall outlet charger (not the USB > PC charger).
    Leave it connected for 24 hours... every 3-5 hours, press and hold the power button only for about 20 seconds. Eventually it will boot on up, but first must reach a certain charge level.
    You will see the blinking red and perhaps yellowish LED light, and perhaps a symbol on screen of "no battery". That means the battery is drained, but it must reach a certain charge before powering on.

    If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

  • My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages.

    My iPhone 5 won't allow me to open pictures from text messages. I tap the picture, then it just goes to a "thinking" screen and says "Restoring..."
    I tried restarting, but it still won't allow me to open pictures.
    Please help!!

    My iPhone 5 is also having this problem. I just received it2 days ago and it would let me open mms messages, but ever since yesterday it will have a loading screen and never let me see it. I've just been having to save my picture into my camera roll and view it that way

  • App store keeps asking for old owner's password when I try to download updates, even though I am logged into my Apple account. It won't allow me to change ID to mine.

    I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu).  How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?

    It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
    As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
    At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

  • When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

    When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full. I have restarted my phone and the computer multiple times, but it still tells me that my phone is full.

    iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?
