It froze while I had a web page open. I gave it a few minutes but nothing happened, so I did a hard reset. Now it won't turn on at all. I plugged in the charger and there was no response. I don't have my laptop on me to plug it and open the desktop software. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else?

yes it happened last week. I pressed and held power+volume up+volume down all at the same time and it worked, my PB restarted. I was so scared it was dead when I couldn't power it up even when plugged in.

ohhh wow thats sucks !!!!

Yeah, it sucks. I had to hard reset my PB almost daily this week. Hope next OS update will solve my problems.

This happened to me once too. Can't remember what I did to fix it though, but it was probably the hard reset pressing all buttons at the same time. Hasn't happened since and everything works fine.

try just waiting for a while, maybe up to 24 hours. See my thread titled Risen from the dead. Same thing happened to me and it self corrected after 24 hours.

It didn't even last 2 months.

Don't give up...try holding down the power button for 30 seconds

I've tried that several times. My last ditch effort was to connect it to my laptop/desktop software. I am beyond sad. I loved my PB.

Or use the DM way and see if it will revive.

SHE'S ALIVE!!!!

I was on the phone with PB support. They had me plug it in and hold down power and both volume buttons. I was just asking how long I needed to hold them down when it powered back up! He probably thinks I'm a total ***** but I tried this exact same thing several times today! I guess maybe I just needed it to "sit" for a while. Thank you for your help!!

Good stuff!!!

That's great! I had serious crashing problems earlier this week. Uninstalled Epix and that did the trick. Don't know why.

[lmoreno21]

Tech support said I shouldn't let the battery get below 20%. Which sucks because my PB battery drains in standby mode. Its not the video chat app either, idk what it is.

Check your math.

Listen, I thought my PB had died, I wasn't thinking clearly
