BlackBerry® PlayBook™

[Vineet_Abrol]

I use my playbook a lot and I mean a lot so you can see how frustrating this is for me I just recently updated my playbook to 2.0.1.668 and my power button will only turn my playbook off not on so I have to keep it plugged in so I can just touch the screen but than that takes the traveling out off the playbook and when I reset it it just updates again and before it updates again it works fine 

signed,

            please help

I think you need to do security wipe

My wife's PB is also having the same problems.  In addition to it not starting back up after pushing the power button it was spontaneously shut down in the middle of using it.  Just today a friends son was playing a game and the PB just turned off.  Is anyone else having that problem?

Thanks for this!  I did manage to update the software but I still have a BIG problem.  I don't know if it stems from the new BB software or the updated device manager software.  When I connect the Playbook to my PC, it acknowledges that it is connected but when I start the device manager application, it tells me there's a problem connecting to the PB.  I also cannot connect by Bluetooth.  I have spent the whole day on this!  I know I did everything right with the settings etc.  Help!  I want to transfer some PDFs from my PC to the PB.  The PB does not appear either in the list of devices connected to the computer.  Does anybody know what the problem is?

It could be a problem of anti-virus or firewall. I had that problem with McAffe.

If you have windows 7 then u might need to right click on the program and select "open as administrator"
