Re: Jukebox does not turn on anymore!

i have 2 archos and both of them have lost charging abilities, so i just
remove the batteries and charge the 4 aa batteries and put them back in,
works fine for me that way

Recorder 20 GB, and so far it was working fine. However, the battery
seemed to get lower recently, and now I can not even turn the box on at
all. I assume the problem is the power supply. It does not turn on even
if I connect it to the plug in charger. Perhaps the batterie is totally
gone?

recover my data. I used the box more as a harddrive than a mp3 player.
So there are several important data on the box, including pictures and
short videos from the last 3 years with our little kids, which are
important memories for our family.
