Default Playbook not turning on

Please Login to Remove!

Hi,

i was using my playbook and suddenly the screen went black, i thought the battery ran out because it was already very low and i was about to recharge it. now when i plug the charger to PB nothing seems to happen cant see the red light either. am i missing anything tricky or simple here? a quick response is highly appreciated.

many thanks.

perhaps you pressed and held all three at the same time...this is the hard reset, aka 3 finger salute...(i think)

First thing I was thinking as I read is sometimes an open app will go all white or all black. It happens with me with bridge apps when I unlock the PlayBook after it has locked and while still connected to the BlackBerry smartphone with the bridge apps open. Solution is to stroke up and bring up the home screen, and then close the app. ... It couldn't have been that, could it?

Otherwise, see if it happens again and be paying close attention to any patterns.
