Playbook wont connect with usb or charge with regular charger

My pc wont show the playbook as being connected, or recognize the device in device manager, but I can connect wirelessly. Also the charger is not recognized as being attached, and subsequently wont charge. It will charge with the rapid charge stand. I tried multiple usb ports and took it back to the store, where it connected easily with the usb wire. Both the usb connection and the charger were working a week ago, I dont recall any software changes, and the playbook os is up to date.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

If the BlackBerry PlayBook is powered off while plugged into a charging source it will not continue to charge.
This is not true. I turn my playbook off and connect to the charging source it stays off. It doesnot turn on unfilled I press the power button.

Playbook won't charge with 3rd party adapter

I have a new Playbook plugged in to a Lenovo slim adapter with a micro-USB tip. I use this same adapter to charge my Blackberry (it has dual charging capability so I can plug my laptop in at the same time).
The issue is that although the Playbook shows it is plugged in (lightning bolt across the battery icon), the charge doesn't increase, and actually seems to go down ever so slightly.
I always thought that USB was USB (i.e. 5V), but that appears not to be the case. Any thoughts?

You need to use the charger that came in the box with the playbook, it is rated at 5v 1800mA. If you use another adapter, even though it is microUSB, it wont have enough capacity (current wise) to charge a playbook and a laptop at the same time, it wont even be able to keep the charge, because is splitting the current with two loads. Voltage and Current are two different things. Same voltage doesn't mean it can charge many devices at the same time, unless the rated Current of the charger is enough for the loads, i.e. three devices rated at 5v 300mA can be charge with an adapter rated at a max Current of 1500mA, 5v, because is overdesigned for the loads.
In a playbook in particular, the more current the adpater has (with a constant 5v) the faster the battery gets charged.

Problems with Playbook Bridge

Help... I have a blackberry torch 9800 mobile and was so so looking forward to buying the Playbook. I am a business user so 95% for wanting to buy the PB is bridge feature for emails, contacts, calendar, task, bbm and internet browsing. I downloaded bridge software to my mobile, went to the shop to try bridge on the PB before buying and was SERIOUSLY disappointed when bridged my mobile to the PB !! Reasons being: 1-my mobile froze full time. So from my mobile i could not answer incoming calls, couldn't make outgoing calls, couldn't open nor do anything on my mobile until I cancelled the bluetooth bridge connection at which time my phone worked super fast as it always does, applications open super quick, commands executed quickly etc. 2-mobile battery drained quickly during bluebtooth bridging of 10 minutes only!! So if I bridge for an hour it will suck my battery dry!! I can not carry a battery charger with me just to be able to bridge as the sales attended suggested...no way as I need to bridge at least 3 hours daily. 3-when I used the bridge Internet browser it took a good 4 minutes to simply open a new web page!! 4-when I made new appointments, tasks or contacts (or made changes to existing entries) on PB it sometimes took a good 3 minutes to show the new or amended entries on the PB!! The salesperson told me every time I made a new entry or changed an existing entry I am to close the program and reopen it to see the new / amended entry....no way and definitely NOT practical!! The salesman told me to buy a faster blackberry mobile to be able to properly use PB bridge and not have the above problems. This does not make sense to me as don't really want to buy a new mobile as my current mobile is superfast. Of course I did not end up buying the PB. Can anyone help advise how to resolve above problems as I really DO want to buy the PB to use the bridge feature on it....I love the bridge feature. Also does anyone know for future play books if they will have native emails, calendar etc + when these new play books versions will be coming out to buy??

what version bridge did you try?
What version OS was on the playbook?
Mine does not drain fast at all when bridged unless i surf a lot on the web since it will use the full internet and not the compressed version you phone usually uses.

Total Frustration with Playbook

I bought the Playbook about 8 months ago and it's been nothing but frustrating from day one.
To begin with the device has a problem with my home wifi connection, it connects sporadically but when connected interferes with any other devices also using the wifi network. The only solution is to turn off the Playbook and restart the router in order to get the other laptops to use the wifi.
The next problem was that the playbook wouldn't charge the tablet would draw down the battery but even though when plugged in it showed the device was charging (with the little lightening bolt) the charge percentage would never increase. I found this so maddening I put the tablet away and forgot about it.
Lately I saw there was an upgrade available (I am on OS 2.01) and I thought maybe the upgrade would fix all my problems. I've now tried 3 times to upgrade to OS 2.1 with no success. I've tried using WiFi and using the desktop software each time it went through the entire download and install process (taking several minutes) only to see that the OS was never upgraded.
I'm at the end of my rope, I'll never buy another BlackBerry device and I've been a loyal user for years. I'd love to send the tablet back for repairs but I bought it directly from RIM and I've no idea how I'd go about that.
I'd be interested in hearing any suggestions or similar experiences from other users...did I just get a lemon??

I had quite a lot of router trouble with the Playbook but got very good help from some of the people from this forum (despite a LOT of venting of frustration on my part - so I totatlly know how you might be feeling about now).
For the router..
Basically, the PlayBook prefers the latest in routers. If yours, like mine, is an older model and you have a lot of wireless devices, then you will probably experience everything from crashing the router itself to losing the IP connection and repeatedly timing out on the reconnect.
The problem and solution (that I experienced) are covered here:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/Playbook-crashing-wifi-network-802-11-g-n...
Unfortunately, someone in the house screwed up the network and I had to reset it and possibly missed a step which led to some masive frustration again on my part and more help.. if you are missing any answers in the first thread, it will likely be in the two-parts that sorted my connectivity problems the second time which got it going nicely for good (touch wood).

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/PLS-REVIEW-SETTINGS-Wifi-interference-PB-...
You should be able to sort out the router without dealing with the PlayBook, but it won't address your probelms related to the OS update.
For the upgrade..
I'm afraid I don't have anything to help with this one. I haven't done the update yet. There are a couple of other posts from people who have had trouble with it. Some of the problem may have happened if you did the update by wifi and then connected to a desktop manager that didn't know how to recognize the PlayBook anymore because of the version change since its last sync. There are some comments on this post that happened to cross-thread with one of my own earlier today and maybe this will help you...

Good luck. If you need help with the router issue I'll keep an eye out to see if I can be of any help.

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.

A "VZW free msg" says a phone on my account "made a charge with a third-party vendor ... ."

This evening, I got a "VZW free msg" alerting me that a phone on my account had "made a charge with a third-party vendor." This is the second such message I've gotten this billing period. The messages are identical. My bill for the current billing period won't be ready till this weekend, so I have no way to track down any details. The phone belongs to my wife, and I am absolutely certain that she has not billed anything to her phone. The maddening thing about these messages is they give no details. Who's the third-party vendor? How much was the charge? What did my wife supposedly buy? No such details appear in the text message, and I can't find details anywhere on the My Verizon site.
This text message does add: "For details or to block such charges: www.verizonwirel." (That's correct as written—I presume some of the message got truncated. That's how the message appeared both times.) However, I can't find any documentation about how to block these charges.
After I got the first of these messages, I called Verizon's customer service number (800.922.0204). A very pleasant gentleman noted my concern and checked my account. He found no such third-party charges, and he advised me to look carefully at my next bill. I left it at that until I got the second message this evening.
Speaking of customer service: This evening, I tried twice calling Verizon's customer service number. Both times, the call ended with a recorded voice telling me, "I'm sorry, but your call cannot be processed at this time. Please try your call later." Huh? Why not an offer to leave my number for a call-back? They as much as hung up on me. Not impressed. And, by the way, why doesn't Verizon post their customer service number on the Web site? I had to dig up the number by way of www.gethuman.com.

Contact us on every page has the number.
*611 from your device works as well.
That third party stuff is probably "cramming" Verizon just got hit with this practice which is illegal.
The law states you can call Verizon up and have them place a permenant block on third party services.
They cannot refuse and you do not have to pay for them.
Notify the FCC http://www.FCC.gov or the Federal Trade Commission http://www.FTC.gov
Good Luck

My iphone5 wont charge with usb port but works fine with wall plug... Infact computer. Doesn't recognizes the iphone

Battery not charging with usb port but works fine with wall plug.. So the prob is computer is not detecting the iphone5 . This problem started after upgrading to 6.1.3 version

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I tried to update the software of my iphone 3gs while charging with my Macbook Pro. While the phone was restarting after installation, in the setting up my phone menu, it stops midway with a message in itunes on the laptop that there is no simcard.

Then put a SIM in. You cannot activate an iPhone without a compatible Sim.
If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken the update restore the lock.

My iphone 5 is no longer charging with new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help.

My iphone 5 is no longer charging with a new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help. It just started happening this week and I have tried everything. Is this a software / driver problem? We all know the battery doesn't last a full day if you "use" your phone like a normal person. I am very frustrated! My daughters iphone 5 started doing this a few days later than mine as well.

Not much help I'm afraid but I use my iPhone 5 like a 'normal' person and it's battery almost all day. Perhaps there's a hardware fault somewhere? Have you tried the usual reset and restore?

Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

Why does my 3rd gen ipad only charge with an iPhone charger and not the 10w charger it came with?

The cable for your 10W charger may be defective.

Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
