    Everything was normal when I turned off playbook. After pushing start button, it went through red light, then BlackBerry Playbook, then greenish balls, then red balls, then recycled to greenish balls, then redish...stuck in a loop. How do I get Playbook to reboot properly? I have tried hard start...no help. The Playbook does become live enough I was able to get a full backup.
    Help appreciated.

    Are you using a 1.8A rated PB Charger?

    These are the most logical thread I gave found on the issue. I had same problem with my original battery and bought a replacement and it booted up and got a charge. I left I I mistake go dead without battery and now same trouble. I bought a fast charging plug due to stock 1.8A is taking a lot of time for stacked charging. I got it to boot twice with this last method but since I did reinstalled the OS with Link. The battery went dead and PlayBook turned off while initial setup. I'm hopping to get it to boot and with fast charging get it to charge with enough power to keep it running.

    Got it to boot with the rapid charger and stack charging let's hope it holds a charge.

    I encountered exactly this last week after connecting to a hotel's free wifi... the solution? Move well out of range of that wifi AP then reboot your PB and don't try reconnecting to that AP again, i.e. remove it from your list of saved APs

    How long do you wait?
    The colour swirls can easily take 5 minutes.

    If nothing happens in 20 minutes then I would say you have a problem.
