A few days ago I bought a second hand Blackberry playbook. It was without a charger, but still had some battery and functioned perfectly, and connected to PC through USB. Today I bought a charger(unoriginal, couldn't find an original one anywhere and didn't want to wait for shipment from other country)(Charger output:5,2V; 2,1A, original charger output:5V; 1,8A). Now my playbook is stuck at 0% battery. It won't turn off while plugged in, but it won't charge either. It didn't charge while it was above 0%. I don't want tips about holding buttons or leaving overnight, I want to know if an original charger would save me and is the original wall charger special in any way(other than output voltage).
