- I just picked up a playbook for the first time and during the setup it says "Battery Level Critically Low, Please connect your tablet to a power source. (which I have done using the wall charger that came with the playbook) and it says setup will resume when the battery gets to 20%, but it doesnt seem to by charging at all. Its at 0% still and its been 30mins. Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else have this issue and how to get around it?12-06-11 04:42 PMLike 0
- I just read something about this in the sticky at the top of the forum. It's tips and tricks for... or something like that. There's 5 pages to wade through, I think, but It was close to the beginning I believe. There's a simple work around, but I don;t recall exactly what it was.
Sorry, but HTH,

"When you take it out of the box it may seem dead - but likely the battery is - this is tricky because if the OS is not upgraded from an earlier version, it will not charge unless the OS is booted, but will not boot unless charged - catch-22.
The solution I believe is to plug in the charger (be sure its the one that came wit the unit) then do the three button reset - hold the + and - volume buttons and the power button - all three at once for over ten seconds - then release. Then just let it charge before doing anything.
You may see a green LED pulsing on and off then goes steady green, or you may just see the red LED flash once - be patient."bbfan1040 likes this.12-06-11 04:55 PMLike 1 -
- Unless the micro usb charging port is damaged it will only go in one way. "BlackBerry Logo faces UP btw"12-14-12 12:59 AMLike 0
