I have a 160GB Archos 504. I have 2 problems.
1 - During video playback the fast forward/rewind button no longer works to advance playback. It's never been a problem before, but today the button won't work.
2 - Though I have fully charged the battery and downloaded the most recent updates, but my battery will only hold a charge of a few hours. Is that normal?
I had a similar problem (see #1) I noticed when I converted the vob DVD files to a much smaller .avi version?. that if I didn?t opt to "Deinterlace video material" the files, I couldn?t fast forward during play back.
Please check what is your firmware version, the latest one is 1.6.23. If it is lower please upodate it by downloading the file from archos website. Maybe it would help

It might just need a good clean up inside with Servisol Video 40. Spray and wipe down every surface the tape touches, cotton buds are good for getting into hard to get areas. More cleaning will be required and it will be harder to do if it lives in a room where people smoke.
Take the battery off, and to the left of the battery connetion tabs is a small gold button, push and hold for 10 seconds. It should start up after doing this.
when I plug in the RPU DC cord from my camera to the input on my tv I get nothing. Is my input jack bad or what. Also, if I tried the s video jack from the camera to the tv, would that work??? I don't know what the AV out jack is for I don't have a cord for that
Download Magic Video Converter from www.isohunt.com and change the video to WMP Standard 8. You don't need 1.25 GB vids for the archos, it's too high a quality for such a small screen.
In playback mode the lCD displays the battery time, hi8 symbol and the tape counter. all the functions work the tape will play, rewind, fast forward. The screen stays blank on playback and the tape counter stays at 0:00:00 eventhough I can see the tape turning. I also hooke the camera to my tv and I got no picture.
it requires a switch block assembly. this part includes the keyboard for play, rewind etc.. part # is 1-477-084-31 part should run you about 30 bucks.
