In the middle of film
Something has frozen up, and it's either a software or hardware program. If it's software, the unit should be able to be reset by unplugging and restarting. If resetting the unit, and returning it on doesn't work, it will have to be troubleshot and serviced, which can be as expensive as buying a new one.
Contact Archos through their literature or manual that came with the unit to see if they can help.
Here's their support site:

Good luck, and hope this helps.

Damaged screen

My laptop cannot pick up new usb flash drives but
How old is your laptop? older laptop will only support USB 1.1 and newer USB devices also will only work with the newer USB 2.0 ports!
Most newer USB 2.0 memory sticks/flash drive are USB1.1 downwards compatibe.
Bottom line: check what USB version is supported by your Laptop and your plug-in device!
Also note that your Laptop BIOS should have LEGACY USB SUPPORT ENABLED and your device, especially if a Media Player, should have its operating MODE set to mimic a FLASH DRIVE (otherwise it will be an unknown device to 'my computer' drive list).

Archos not charging
You don't say how old the device/battery is. Does it fail right out of the box new? This behavior can be common with an older failing battery. If this occurs in a new device then it is faulty and needs be sent back on warranty.

Archos 400 won't turn on (error code 3)
I hard tried the same thing to transfer a 6.7GB file to another computer.I had formated the drive as an NTFS drive. when i turned archos back on, it failed to turn on give me error code. but for some reason it asked me to do a recovery. I remember i had seen some recovery files in my archos device saved (zipped file packages). And when it was doing the recovery i noticed it was reading the zipped files for recovery purpose. After the recovery, i did not see the files anymore in the device. So if i do the same thing again (format as ntfs) i might not be able to recover it back again.
