    I guess RIM didn't thint to make the battery removable, did they? My playbook froze up, no button combination will reboot it and the screen won't shut off. I was in the process of swiping the browser up to close it and it got stuck half way and locked right up.

    Guess I'm waiting for the battery to drain.

    hold down volume up+ volume down + power at the same time for a few seconds and it will reboot

    have you tried holding down the power button, volume -, volume + at the same time for about 15 secs?

    Thanks guys, it worked.

    I was doing just that, but was pressing the buttons through the BlackBerry case so I guess they weren't being held down far enough.

    thought you could just hold the power button for ~ 10 seconds to shut it down. you sure you need to hit the vol buttons too?
