^^^shiiet looks like you guys have a more sunken in power botton then I do...mines pretty raised up and really easy to push..i heard the very first playbooks had this problem and they "supposedly" fixed it by raising the power botton but yeah mines raised abit so i dunno about you guys.

Bonka 11-24-2011 03:44 PM

All the PBs I've swapped had the sunken power button except for the last one, which had a 020511 date on the box. All the other ones were xx0311 or xx0411.

where do i look on the box to find out the date?

i swear my power button is sunken as well

took me like 3 tries to turn it on for the first time LOL

might consider exchanging.. could get quite annoying

when i get one i'd be looking for a charge dock. eventually plan on getting a bt keyboard too.

are there any magnetic covers that fold in to a stand for the pb like the ipad has?

Sticker on the side on the box where the UPC code is.

The Source has the charging pod for $17 in-store only. Best to call around for stock.

If you're still running the stock OS, make sure you update to V1.08. WiFi is noticeably better and pages with Flash load more quickly.

Vansterdam 11-24-2011 06:16 PM

looks like i need to do a exchange, less then 2 hours from owning a playbook lol

my power button is straight sunked and feels like its jammed takes 3-4 tries to actually turn it on unless i push it with my nail

with my case on it took 10+ tries before the button would work


anyone else have this power button problem?

Simplex123 11-24-2011 06:31 PM

WTFFFFF I BOUGHT MY DOCK ON AMAZON FOR $40 TWO WEEKS AGOOOOO :fuuuuu:

Bill Tan on Odlin has it for $5 if you apply it yourself.

Vansterdam 11-24-2011 06:54 PM

Now I'm not so sure that I want to order one straight from RIM :heckno:

It's that kinda shit that would drive me crazy, and want to exchange it straight away.

Vansterdam 11-24-2011 07:03 PM

the power button is driving me nuts lol

i got it to turn back on after holding the power button down but took a few tries before i got it to turn on

i think u would have a better chance at getting a good one if u ordered it through blackberry and obviously if there was something wrong just send it back....

Bonka 11-24-2011 07:20 PM

I don't know if RIM charges for open box returns. Better to order elsewhere I think.

shiieet that sucks bra i guess i was one of the lucky ones that got a raised power button but yeah having a sunken button would make me lose my shit! i watched and read reviews saying they were going to raise the button but i guess they only did it on some....

evil_jigglypuff 11-24-2011 07:30 PM

It tells you to charge it while you are updating. Just try to keep it charged for a few hours to see if it is charging. Chances are the battery is just completely drained.
