playbook failing to charge battery

so i'm not sure what's going on with my playbook, but the past two times i've tried to charge it on the charging stand, it does the opposite..rapidly discharges the battery. i thought i had figured it out that i have to connect it, wait for it to show that it is 'charging,' take it off, and put it back on again. last night that didn't work. i have it hooked up via usb to a wall charger now, and it's just sitting at 0% battery, but the lightning bolt is showing. anyone else having this issue, or possible it's just my playbook battery dying?

Leave it on the wall charger for half a day and then check. Once it hits ZERO, it can take a while before it starts registering upward values.

Look at your dock - make sure all three springloaded pins are at the same level or height. One of them might be stuck down and not making contact. Play with it with a toothpick or probe - press in/out. Spray with electrical contact cleaner.

Reboot my girlfriend had a issue like this.

I have rebooted it everytime it happens, but it keeps recurring. I checked the contacts and they seemed to be fine. not sure what else it could be...guess I just need to keep an eye on the battery level when I first put it on the charger...
