I recently purchased a av700e

It very well IS the battery if your power cord was sending (EX: 2.8Amps, while the battery is rated for only 1.8Amps) This would cause the battery to be overloaded and fry. On the pocketdish nearest the plug-in there may be a power rating (EX: 12v 1.8A). Check there, or I can locate the power needs for the device.



Let me know if you need anything else :)

I HAVE A ARCHOS AV

Hi there,

You can use a disc shaped connector hub for AV in/out connections, but no travel AV in/out. That is a separate accessory. So, if you want to see your video on a separate TV, bring the big hub, or spring for a separate set of travel connectors.

Thanks

This is about Archos AV500e.

Hi

This unit is particularly prone to freezing up.

There is a simple reset procedure which often works to unfreeze it. To do this simply press and hold the x button for at least 15 seconds to get it to reset itself.

Hope this helps - if so please rate my answer as ratings are important to the experts on this site.

Broken, Don't know what to do.

if it doesnt feel the same as the other buttons, ie you dont get a little click when you press it, then you can try this.
*nb* this involves butchering your device a bit, so if you arent sure you have the probelm i had, try something else.
on my av500, the cancel/off button stopped working, and stopped clicking...
i took the buttons off, the saw that beneath the plastic button is a bevelled springy plate, which had lost its springyness, and was constantly depressed/contacted
my solution was to poke a pin into the plate and pull it out, thus stopping the contact (which was causing weird problems).
i left the plastic buttons off, and now operate the buttons with a fingernail or pen. if the button stops working again, i lift it out again with a pin.
