    Perform a backup of your PlayBook with the BlackBerry Desktop Software and reinstall de PlayBook OS via the Desktop Software.
    If it don't fix it, call support for RMA.

    I got exactly the same issue from a couple of months just after latest OS update. The shutdown is random and does not depend from battery level (I monitored that!). It is a software issue, not hardware. It happens also when the PB is in standby for long time, when I try to wake up it is turned off. I also reinstalled the OS after wipe but the issue is still there! I was waiting for other users to highlight the issue but it seems that not many are affected, this is the first relevant post. Anyone got an idea how to solve?
    Thanks

    I still having this annoying issue. I start to think that could be battery related, in the sense that battery drop (probably because it start to be defective!) and software respond with shutdown. I was also considering to replace the battery but its cost is quite considerable, I could buy a used PB. Anyone tried battery replacement ?

    Thanks

    Forget to add that any time that PB random shutdown, when switched on the wifi is always off. The bluetooth instead is as left.

    Thanks
