- @ anindoc and Shadow, thanks for the quick replies. I processed an exchange from Staples, should have it by Tuesday. I have had bad luck with my PB's, I love the device and that is why I haven't processed a return/refund. This is my 6 replacement this month. I bought the 16GB first and it was fine but I exchanged it for a 32GB. The 32GB's that I have gotten my hands on have had 3+ dead pixels and/or many dust particles under the screen. On this last one the backlight issues when I press the shut down command. I reloaded the OS on this last one and the screen stays blue when I shut it off as if the backlight doesn't shut down. I paid $434 for it, at this point i'll be okay with one that has 1 dead pixel in a non noticeable location. That'll be the best that I can get my hands on from what I've experienced thus far. BTW, Staples finally put them back up to regular price.10-30-11 09:29 PMLike 0

- @ anindoc, despite the shortcomings of the PB I happen to be one of those that has faith in its potential and am happy with what it has to offer for my personal and business use at the moment. That is why I continue to pursue the device via exchanges as opposed to returning it. As you mentioned, I hope this 7th or so time is the charm. I have considered the return but when I consider my other options (iPad and or an Android OS tablet) they "might" be more appealing to the masses, but the PB is a better fit for me.10-30-11 10:28 PMLike 0

- I found it rather annoying to have to do the cold boot on the first time I turned off a brand new unit. After the cold boot I decided to wipe and reload the OS and the first time I shut it down the backlight didn't turn off either. The best option is to get it replaced (deliver will be tomorrow) and lower the chances of something like this (or worse) happening after my return period. Thanks for your input though10-31-11 07:35 AMLike 0
- I've had two PBs. The first one was a 16g I bought to see if the PB was the right device for me. It was so I returned it and bought a 32g. Both units functioned flawlessly.10-31-11 10:49 AMLike 0
- The PB that I just received is immaculate. Thanks to all those that collaborated and commented in this forum.OMGitworks likes this.11-01-11 02:30 PMLike 1

I have had this happen to me twice over the last two days. When the playbook is turned off, the display backlight would stay on and drain the power.
