Hi I purchased an Archos 705 wifi a while ago but never set it up. I have now realised that all the instructions in the manual are in German! Do you have an english version that you could possibly send me? Many thanks Joanna

Use the [Show] "How to install firmware" for instructions.

There is a known issue with archos players since Gen 04 that causes them to discharge more quickly if left in their charging stations (DVR dock) after the full charge light begins to flash. If you charge the unit this way, your battery is probably toasted. Good news is that the 705 battery is user replaceable. Bad news is its over 40 bucks. Try newmp3technology.com or ebay for a good price on a new battery.

704/705 will not power up at all without a bettery that has a little charge. If these batteries are not used they have a tendancy to die. you could try charging it on a DVR for a few days. then when you disconnect it from the DVR immediatly connect it to a DC charger and your lights should then work. Either way I would consider id a warranty claim.

I use the same batteries in both units. The only difference is the colour of the back plate and the label on the inside. Clone and extended batteries are different backs anyway.

Switched unit on and held tv button until repair options showed. Selected repair disc then switched off when task completed. Switched back on and selected systems and again selected reset settings and switched off. Then this time I removed the battery and pressed the reset button. Switched back on re-entering all the required data.Everything now appears to be functioning normally.

Thank you for your offer of assistance,will keep your site on file incase of future problems.
