Playbook will not charge

Playbook stopped being able to charge. Purchased another charger...still will not work. Problem seems to be with the playbook. This was purchased at a charity auction end of July this year so I have no contact for support.

Re: Playbook will not charge

You can get support information from www.blackberry.com/playbook

Are you using the specific Playbook charger or are you using another charger?

Re: Playbook will not charge

I am using the playbook charger that came with the product. The usb symbol with the B is facing up when screen is facing up. It's the only way it will go in. No charger light comes on anymore.

Re: Playbook will not charge

Have you tried restarting the Playbook? Is the Playbook still charged somewhat or is it dead and turned off?

Re: Playbook will not charge

I have figured out that the charger was last inserted incorrectly and by adjusting the inside of where it plugs in, it now can be charged. It's charging now. I will put a red mark on the top of the side that should face up so this does not happen again. Glad it's fixed....thanks for your help.:smileyhappy:

Re: Playbook will not charge

The charging tab on the inside of my playbook got bent/mangled and will not charge.  I purchased it at the beginning of February 2012 and I have been a mess without it lately!  Where/who do I go to correct this issue?
