Is it going through a hub/switch. If so, try direct connect.

check the power supply connection i.e., battery connection and AC connection

Sometimes with mp3 players the cable is the one that is mostly damaged. Try replacing this cable and try again. It actually has happened to me on two different mp3 players. Cables are always faulty.

I have the 8gig Archos 70, the whole thing froze as described in other posts. The solution is not for the feint of heart though. Mine would do absolutely nothing. So what the heck, I opened it up (nothing to lose at this point). Messed about a bit. Read that when it "Bricks" like this there is nothing that can be done. If it is Bricked, something locks it in the memory and function. As long as the battery is connected, it will remain that way no matter what.

Solution. Cut the black power wire from the battery (there are three long wires red white and black), leave for 20 minute, and solder the wire back together and heat shrink the joint. Reassemble, plug in power cord and it should reboot...

My archos is about 3-4 years old, and is mounted to the wall in my kitchen for use as an internet radio

To hard reset a tablet, hold the power button down until it shuts off then press it to turn back on. Should take about 5 - 10 seconds for the device to power off.

U HAVE TO TAKE IT TO UR SERVICE CENTRE BECAUSE IT PROBABLY LOOKS U HAVE INSTALLED WRONG FIRMWARE AND U MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE PHONE .BUT FIRST DO TRY AT UR SERVICE CENTRE,THEY MAY FIX IT.DO VOTE FOR ME IF PROBLEM FIXED.
