    Archos 5 is stuck on "entertainment your way" screen and will not boot up after. I have tried charging, reset, reset push pin, repair, format, and the device is not recognized by my computer so I can't update anything to try to fix it. My Archos firmware was up to date prior to problem starting. Tried to contact Archos to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks?

I have found a solution for this issue, if you hold down the volume button and the power button for several seconds the Archos goes into a restore type mode. You then plug it into your computer and download the latest firmware update and cut and paste it onto the archos removable hard drive icon that appears in my computer. It will take a few minutes to update but then it will work perfectly.

Keep it on charge about 5 hours and on the bottom of the unit there is a little hole try to reset it with a needle. and turn it back on

  • Anonymous Feb 18, 2009

    After the reset you need to do the adjustments again such as soung equalizer setup clock, time & date etc.

    There is some amount of power need to load up the menu if there is not it gets stuck on welcome screen while you that screen in the background OS being loaded when there is not enough power and because battery runs out while in the process of loading it gets stuck on the "ARCHOS entertainment your way" screen and turns off. Make sure that when archos is not being used for a long time or when it shuts off for low power, to put it on charge at least 3 hours and do not use it while charging

No, i cant get this Archos 5 recognised by the computer either: I have tried restarting, charging, the REPAIR option, the FORMAT option, nothing works.

There must be some combination of resetting with the pin and doing the POWER-VOLUME thing in which you absolutely have to get some sequence right. But this isnt documented anywhere.

My archos 5 IMT 160 gb has a blank screen. It looks like is charged. I makes noise while is starting up, but the screen is blank. I* charged for over 10 hours.

Screen is blank?
Do you mean you won't see anything at all like the signup colorful screen that says "ARCHOS Entertaining your way" ?

If your battery is full charged (did  the CHG LED green light blink when it finished charging?), and you have a blank screen, do you have a serious problem indeed. If your unit is under warranty your best and only way is contact Archos.

If when you turn it on, it takes you to the Recovery screen (white screen, usually says Code 101) then try to Format the HDD, download the latest firmware from www.archos.com for your unit, copy it from your PC to the Archos, let it finish the process wth the power supply connected, and once it's done the unit should be back working fine with the latest fimware.

But if you definetely do not see anything but a blank screen when you turn it off, your problem is more serious than a simple firmware upgrade, and you need to contact Archos tech support.

I have an archos 5 and and it stay on the begging screen

Hi,
try hitting the reset button as a first step when it comes on. You might have to do a hard reset. Make sure you have either your original firmware or the latest from Archos saved on your desktop. When you do a hard reset if it comes to the Archos screen hold down the volume+ button until the white recovery screen comes on. If you have data you don't want to lose in it you might be able to save it if you try the repair or recovery function but if they don't work you will lose everything if you have to format. You probably will have to format sorry for the bad news but try everything first before formatting.

Getting a white screen with 102 error message

I fixed my son's 605 4 GB had Recovery code (104) on it. This might work for other error codes too. These are the steps i followed 
* Use the computer for this process that you always used for this archos Archos should be plugged in toPc before starting the process.
* Download the firware Upgrade 2.1
* Plug the Archos to Pc 
* When the white option screen comes up pick the format disk
* Wait until all done do not pick any option on archos after format is done Pc should recognize your archos in 5 seconds 

* Put the firmware in root section of the archos not in any folder.
* Safely remove the usb for Archos from your pc first and then unplug the cable.
* Do not pick any option on the Archos screen
* Just turn it off from the power button by holding it until it turns off
* Wait about 5 minutes and plug it back to pc 
* it will come up with white screen again but this time it will start Update you will see the progress bar moving, wait until it is all done, it will shut off. Turn it back on and  your archos will be back to normal

When I turn on the device the screen displays- ARHCOS entertainment yor way- and nothing else.

I found the tech support line very helpful when I first got mine last December. Some things were solved with firmware. Sounds like you might need to get it replaced and you should be well within a warranty period to give a new one a try. Good luck! I love my archos 605!

Archos 605 WiFi stuck

Hey

I suffered the same problem as you, fortunately I fixed it after a lot of messing around.
First what you want to do is switch off the system completely. Once the power light is off, switch the system back on, once the LCD screen turns on, immediately press and hold down the YV/LCD screen for about 5 seconds, a white screen should appear.

You will have three options, click the second option, (i think it is repair) and connect the archos to the PC. This will allow you to transfer all your files to PC because you can access the harddrive.

Once you have taken all the files you want, turn the system off again. Then again, turn the system on, hold down the TV/LCD button for 5 seconds until the white screen appears. Choose the format option. This will take your archos back to factory settings. It took me a few goes to get it back to normal but once its done, you will be glad you put the effort in.

Now all there is to do is to take your files back across via cable and you should be done!

I hope that helped!

My archos 605 wifi

Try reseting device by inserting a pin in the bottom reset hole. If still non-responsive, try connecting device with usb cable and switch device on then off.

All else fails you have a 1 years warranty on device, which comes standard.
