Latest BB Desktop version can "unbrick" it for you.

I too had the same problem as many on the forums, the playbook will continuously show the screen saver/blackberry playbook with the different colored circles.
Here is how I was able to fix it....
1) Turn your playbook off by holding down the power button
2) Let your playbook sit for about 10 minutes as earlier suggested.
3) After letting the PB sit (and still powered off) open up the Blackberry Desktop Software (the latest version)
4) Once the Blackberry Desktop Software is opened, power on the Playbook
5) A screen will show on your computer showing that the device cannot be found
6) Click on Update
7) Your computer will now download the much needed "debrick" file as talked about in earlier posts.
***NOTE*** I have tried to do this in several different ways, but the above method is the only one that worked. I hope this works.
As with all software/hardware, it takes time and patience to figure out the issue [/QUOTE]
