How Do I Unsubscribe?

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....

Re: How Do I Unsubscribe?

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...

Re: How Do I Unsubscribe?

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

Re: How Do I Unsubscribe?

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.

Re: How Do I Unsubscribe?

Phone them!

Visit the support section of BlackBerry.com and get the phone number there.

If it won't charge then it will probably be replaced under warranty.

Re: How Do I Unsubscribe?

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.

Re: How Do I Unsubscribe?

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.
