Re: help ! dead black screen playbook. ? wont charge or turn on? no camera sound when volume buttons pressed :(

here is solution

 

mark it as solution if helps

 


My Playbook:

*Dead for 7 days
*No LED indications
*No flashing Red/Greenish Orange LEDs
*Dead that PC cannot connect with playbook

Solution:

*Press Start Button
*As you press the start button, quickly insert then pull-out USB stock Playbook Charger off the USB port (less then a second with each start button press + insert/pull-out)
*Playbooks USB port can be damaged over-time, so wiggle the USB stock Charger while performing the Start Button + Insert/Pull-out method.
***I did this at least 5-7 times***
*Perform steps continuously until Red LED light turns on for 8-10 seconds and then the green/orange flashing LED indicator 5x.
*Once this happens, leave playbook alone for at least 2-3 hrs.
***While waiting, make sure you try and press the start button once again to see if the playbook is finally receiving the good 'ol electro-juices-s-s-s by observing the same Red LED light turning on for 8-10 seconds then green/orange flashing LED indicator 5x. This means you've finally done-did-it.***
*After 2-3 hrs of waiting, un-plug the USB stock Charger then perform Hard Reset (Start+ Vol Up/Down) and wait for about 10-15 seconds.
***Warning, if you dont wait 2-3 hrs before pulling the USB stock Charger, you will be stuck back to a dead Playbook once again and going to have to start all over.***
*Wait for the Red LED to turn back on and the RED DEAD BATTERY ICON with the BOLT should pop up on the screen.
*The oscillating green lights should initiate showing signs of your playbook finally drankin' sum juices LOL!
*Make sure you now wait for another 2-3 hrs until the playbook starts up by its own along with the low battery sound indicator.
*From here, you have the option to leave the playbook on while it charges or turn it off and having a higher rate of charge.

Happy Playbook-ing!
