So, I noticed that when I place my PlayBook next to my television, on top of my MacBook, that it will start going crazy. I don't know what it is, I'm sure there's some scientific explanation to all of the micro waves floating around that "bermuda triangle" of a spot, but who knows. I think it's just a ghost who stands in that one spot waiting to get his transparent hands on my PlayBook. I filmed this with my iPhone 4 ...

I don't know if that code worked, so here's the link to the video ..

There have been quite a few threads on this issue... Plasma screens from TV's, ungrounded wiring in houses, on top of other devices that are alive....

So keep it away from those situations... and if it happens, do a three finger reboot.
To REBOOT:
Press and HOLD all three keys for about 10 - 20 seconds: PowerOn, VolUp and VolDown. Start with the PowerButton. If you hear a shutter type sound, you've taken a Screen Shoot and probably missed the PowerButton.

Your right it had nothing to do with the TV. It is indeed haunted.
I perform exorcisms and would be happy to help. Just send it to me. I should mention it could take 5 years or more.

Awesome. Be careful, it has a tendency to spew pea soup.

It could also be acting aggressively towards the Macbook. First you should remove it from that hostile environment.
I also offer counseling.
Again happy to help.

Haha, yeah maybe it wasn't happy that it was on a MacBook and being filmed with an iPhone

What kind of TV do you have? I have never seen it happen next to my Samsung 50" plasma.
I sometimes have those issues when the PB is next to all my chargers.

[jonmark]

I'm not sure the exact model, it's Samsung 55'' LCD .. Just got it this past black Friday

[phoreoneone]

i think we might have to perform an exorcism on it

[mublat]

That's so good to scare people

[jafobabe]

Hahaha ... Hey now, Texas is the Holy Land

So yer saying it's really a Holy Haunting? LOL

I thought of something else..... is your TV plugged to a surge protector and not directly into the wall outlet?

[TheScionicMan]

Mine does that when I set it on my lap.

Well Dang OP..... You're in TEXAS... that's the whole problem! LOL

Hahaha ... Hey now, Texas is the Holy Land

At least we can all agree on something...

Hahaha ... Hey now, Texas is the Holy Land

One messes with Texas at one's own peril.... Obviously the Evil Fruit's fault.
