Since there does not seem to be a solution to my playbook problem (won't charge) I really don't need to continue checking for solutions here. I am really disappointed in not being able to use my playbook. Anyway, thanks for trying to help, but
I am giving up. Maybe I will buy an IPAD instead....

It's still under the one year manufacturer warranty. I have only had it for about 6 or 7 months. I tried taking it back to Best Buy, but got nowhere. Now it is toast! Maybe I will use it for a door stop or a paper weight...

Best Buy is not the place for warranty support. You have to contact BB directly.

I tried to contact BB, but got nowhere. Should I phone them? I don't want to pay for an inquiry since it is a faulty device.

Hi:
I phoned Blackberry last night and spoke with customer service. They agreed that it is the charging port. I am going to send for repair. Although I am wondering what if I just used the rapid charge port instead? I am not thrilled about sending it away, but do hope that my problem will be resolved. The person I talked to was very helpful. Thanks for your suggestion with this problem.

I am just packaging up my playbook to send for repair. I hope this is the answer. It's a shame we have to send an item that is made by a Canadian co. to the US for repair and also that we have to talk to some technician in South America to report the problem in the first place. I can see why RIM is in trouble. There should be a Blackberry depot in Canada where we can send our Blackberry products for service. I can't believe how complicated this is for such a small problem which should have not happened in the first place.
