Not dead but won't charge

So I recently bought a playbook from my sister who had no use for it.  When I got the device, it was recently charged and updated to the recent OS.  Problem is it won't charge. The red light comes on for 10 seconds or so, then turns off and the little plug/charge icon pops on the screen, then nothing.  I saw there was some power charge cycle thing, I tried that, but unsure if that only works for dead batteries.  Hasn't seemed to work for me yet.  Battery is sitting at about 35% now.  It was apparantly working just fine before the 2.0 update, this is the first time being used since.  Any help would be appreciated.
