How To Perform a Hard Reset on the BlackBerry PlayBook

One of our readers, Devin, let us know about a cool tip for the BlackBerry PlayBook. Since the BlackBerry PlayBook does not have a removable battery it makes it impossible to perform a true hard reset of pulling the battery like you can on BlackBerry
smartphones. Just to confirm what I mean by a hard reset. This key combination will perform a hardware reboot instead of a software reset on the BlackBerry PlayBook.

To perform a hard reset on the BlackBerry PlayBook:


Hold down the volume up key, volume down key, and power button at the same time and hold it for about 15 seconds. TIP: Its easier if you hit the volume up key then the volume down key and then the power key.
