BlackBerry® PlayBook™

[Madrid5]

Okay so I am needing help with my Playbook. It is not wanting to charge but this is because I have a couple of children that decided to put a different type of charger that was not meant for the Playbook and have since messed up the prong where my Playbook charger would attach. Is there anything else "charger wise" that will allow me to charge it without this Playbook going to waste?

Yes. Get one of these:

But wouldn't that rapid charger connect the same way? On the part that isn't holding my regular charger already?

[John_Clark]

No. The Playbook can use a USB charger that comes with the device (the usb charging port is in the middle) or a magnetic charger that connects to the port with the three metal contacts on the right side.

Sorry don't mean to be so difficult.It would probably be more helpful if I would have brought it with me to work. So that way I would know what you are describing to me.

Just order a magnetic rapid charger. I recommend the magnetic charger over the USB port for just the reasons you state in your first post. I love mine. I think they should come with that kind of charger.

Where would I look into getting a magnetic charger?

Click the link I posted above.

Oh okay. So that travel rapid charger for the tablet is the magnetic one you are talking about?

That's a fact, Jack! Every Playbook owner should have one.
