Playbook will not boot even after charging

Hi All,
I have this problem for nearly a week and can not resolve. I think this is a MAJOR ISSUE of playbook since there are a lot of complains here but NO VALID SOLUTION is offered. I consulted all the related posts here and tried every possible solutions but nothing works.
My Playbook can be charged until LED indicator showed a soilid GREEN. According to Playbook manual this indicates that the battery charging process is done. However, I can not boot up my Playbook. When I press POWER button , LED indicator shows a red light for 4 seconds then it goes off. LED indicator then goes dead and nothing start.
THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM OF PLAYBOOK.
My question now for everybody is:
Does anyone have this problem fixed ?
Is it worth it to pay more money to get support from RIM to fix this problem ? (because if this problem can not be fixed then I will stop using my Playbook and look for an Android tablet available on the market. If this problem can be fixed, I will give another shot...)

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried pressing Power and + and - simutaneously but nothing works. I got several of my friends involved (some help pressing down buttons, etc)
Here is some more observations:
1/Sometimes the LED shows a red light for 10 seconds and everything goes dead (nomre LED)
2/Sometimes while pressing 3 buttons (Power and + and -) I heard a sound similar to the sound when you press the button capture of a digital camera but not as loud.
Anymore idea ?
I think this a a MAJOR PROBLEM OF PLAYBOOK . RIM MUST HAVE REGCONIZED THE PROBLEM BY NOEW
Hi,
RIM knows about this.
Please, can you tell me what OS version do you have so I can pass it along to them? It's important.
One last thing please, have you tried holding down the power button 10 secs while charging the PB?
Thanks

Macbook pro will not boot even to grey screen ??

my macbook pro will not boot even to grey screen ?? Just stopped wprking after I closed the cover.

What other indications are there, does the white light turn on, solid or pulsing?, do you hear the startup chime, or bong if you prefer. Can you hear the drive, the fans?

Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.

Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.
The following happens.
1. Speaker light lit (Green)
2. Phone displays a firmware upgrade page (see attachment) for a few minutes. (Doesn't seems to be upgrading, but it "saids" upgrading)
3. Saw Cisco logo with a Java Powered page.
4. The whole thing loops again and again...
I think the reason why the phone isn't booting up is because the phone needs to know where to find the configuration/firmware files from a tftp server. I do have a TFTP server, but normally I need to go in settings to change the alternative tftp server, but the thing is that now I can't even press the settings button...
Please help.

How many phones were reset and upgrading at one time? What is the setting of the TFTP Maximum Serving Count (Advanced TFTP Service Parm) on each of the TFTP servers?
Sounds like too many devices trying to use TFTP at once.

It rained in my window last night, on my power strip. My macbook adaptor (charger) and iphone adaptor were both plugged into the strip. The power strip is dead. Iphone is fine. Macbook will not boot up and charger light doesn't go on.

Macbook will not boot up and charger light doesn't go on. I borrowed another charger and still no luck. What should I do? (Charger wasn't plugged into Macbook until I dried it off.)

Spill Cleaning
And, don't think that just because it was two teaspoons and not a glassful that there is a difference.
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
Do not put in a bag of rice in as much as rice will get into the ports and optical drive and do further damage.

Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
Any suggestions?

Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3. Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it. I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps). So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens. What next?

After installing 10.6.8 will not boot even from 10.6 disk HELP

Will only start in safe mode, Safari crashes so no help there to get back to 10.6.7 and will not boot from my 10.6 SL disk. HELP! Can't find the orignal disks so I am in a bad way...

Call AppleCare and request replacement discs. You can also Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC and see if those will fix things up. You updated to 10.6.8 w/o having a bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup? Bad move, that.

Device will not Boot up after a battery pull.

Hi guys, today is my first time using this website and I also registered today so I am very much NEW here.
I live in Jamaica and my service provider is Digicel Jamaica. My phone is out of warranty by 6 months now as it was purchased 1.5 years ago from Digicel through my company that I was working for.
I have a Torch 9860 with OS version 7.1.
Two months ago while charging the phone with the charger that was supplied from the manufacturer, i realised that the phone had become very hot and as such i removed the charger and let it cool via removing the battery cover, at that point i realised that using the keypad to type messages the slightest tap of any letter resulted in that letter either not responding or it would give me multiples of the same letter , which prompted me to tap delete which would either delete the whole word or sometimes just the letter. at other times, the keypad would work just fine. the battery also did not keep charge for more than a few minutes, and upon inspecting the battery realised it was swollen, as such I had it replaced with one purchased from my Dealer which solved the issue of not holding a charge, but the keypad was still behaving funny as previously explained above.
My major issue I am now facing is I did a battery Pull anf after replacing the battery, the Phone will not boot up, no blackberry logo with the load bar being displayed, the phone appears to be dead. the battery indicator light is blank even if the charger is connected. This occurred once about a week ago and after several remove and replacing the battery it finally booted up and worked, but did another battery pull two days ago and it still will not power on.
Please Help, can you advise me if this is a new issue or what needs to be done. I am thinking as a last option to replace the entire board, but out here in Jamaica, that is a very costly option.
Thank you for taking the time to review this, any help or guidance or feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jamaikhan
If this happened to you because your problem is that is nuked stay dead ...
I can relive through using programs like BBSACK to apply a Wipe
You must download the OS from your Blackberry 9860.
Having the Desktop Manager installed on your PC ...

Playbook will not boot - solid red LED for 10s

My Playbook went dead last week. Put it on the wall charger for many hours and the thing will not boot. Now, all I get when I plug it in to the wall charger, or computer USB cable is the LED lights up red for about 10 seconds, then nothing.
I can't find this behavior listed anywhere on any site, and of course my complimentary BB support has expired. Help me out before I bring this brick back to the store.

Actually, the web page you need is here: http://us.blackberry.com/support/playbook-support/contact.jsp
I called, and apparently, the 90 commplentary support starts when you register your PlayBook, because I was able to get a support ticket from the friendly voice on the other end.
Also, I gathered that Blackberry would handle any warranty returns themselves (though you'd probably need a proof of purchase/reciept).
I had to run to a meeting, so I'll have to call back. Problem not solved yet, but progress.
