Can it be fixed, yes. However, the replacement panel will probably cost $150 or more. Given that the original cost of the player is $179, I don't think it is worth it. The labor cost will make the repair exceed $179.

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.
have u got and anti-viruse on up pc, does the archos still connect up to the pc. try this first if not try the reset then try to format. i need to know a bit more to help
1. get a LCD screen from newmp3technology.com
2. use a bit of card or credit card and slide it between the LCD screen and the front this removes the glue
3. remove four screws on the sides
4. remove the back
5. lift the battary and unplug
6. lift the hard drive
7. remove the two screws in the corners
8. now you can remove the front
9. lift the LCD screen so you can see the cables
10. slide the cable out of its housing
11. to put the new screen in follow numbers 10 to 3
when removing the glue or the front of the archos do not touch the LCD screen as now its not fixed it will brake
In the event that your ARCHOS device freezes operation
(due to electrostatic phenomena, for example), you can reset it
by pressing the button for 15 seconds.
Just convert the movie to MPEG4 ASP (Level 5), XviD, DivX 4, DivX 5 or
WMV9 (max resolution of 704x 480 @ 30fps, 720 X 576 @ 25fps) format on
your desktop computer an then load it onto Archos
