    I had similar problem yesterday ie stuck in boot up. I was told to do hard reset by pressing power and + button beside it.
    Did not help right away but after about 30 mts it booted ok. I have tried a few reboot today and no problem.
    I wish some one ( who really knows) makes it clear what's the issue and which buttons are for hard reset. There are a number of posting saying different things for hard reset.

    I've had the same trouble. I cannot turn off the PlayBook without holding down the power button for 15 seconds. This is a consistent problem (in that, it didn't not clear up once I did a hard reset once).

    take in back and try another. no product should require this much effort for $500

    Reboot. Press power and - + buttons all at the same time for 15 secs. it should reboot and clear the problem.
