Your post/description indicates a possible problem with the firmware. It would seem that the Archos 605 would load but fail to finish and there restarts itself. This could only be possible if somehow the firmware has been corrupted or you tried a firmware upgrade but failed halfway.

There are several versions of the 605, you need to determine which one you have.

Things you can try:
1. Do a soft reset. Press on the power button for about 15 seconds;
2. Do a full/hard reset by removing the batteries and pressing the master reset button;
3. Try again the Systems Recovery. You may need also to format the internal HD but that would mean you loose whatever data is inside.

Alternately, you may need to update/re-install the firmware. A more complete and better explained firmware update procedures are here. Briefly, you have to download and save in your PC the ???????.aos file (there are several versions of the firmware. You need to determine which one is appropriate to your model), connect your 605 to the PC, copy/paste (drag & drop) the said file to the Archos device listed in "My Computer" (you may have to overwrite the older copy), disconnect 605, proceed to System Settings, tap on "Update Firmware". Follow on screen instructions.

If the above is not corrective, am afraid that your unit has been partially bricked. Some have reported serious hardware or firmware problems with the 605 that would require replacement by the manufacturer.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Select the m3u file with the 405 browser, press Menu key,choose Delete file and press OK.

Go to ARCHOS main page,then go to Support->Downloads and choose the user guide for your device.

Of course.Use the pdf reader built in the device to read them.Some particulars of the document couldn´t be managed by the reader.

You can buy it in Ebay or in www.newmp3technology.com

Copy and paste the files into the Music folder once you have connected the 405 to the PC via USB and set it in PC mode. Please read the downloadable pdf user guide in ARCHOS main page.

The drive of the 405 is formatted in FAT32,so you can´t manage files bigger than 2gb.

The buttons are ALWAYS disabled when you connect it to the PC in "mass storage/hard drive" mode. This doesn´´t mean malfunction.

what is website called for archos

can you be a little more specific? what kind of problem you are having?

Hi. Remove the 16gb SDHC. If you still have difficulties then downgrade the firmware (to original version). You may need to enter
'recovery mode' by powering down the archos then press both power button and volume up button at the same time. Do a disk repair. Shayind4

Try a master reset using the manual, It should reset it factory settings. You can then configure the archos.

Hi . Download the update file from Archos website ( under Support), and follow the instructions on the download site about 'How to update firmware'. I hope this helps. Shayind4

I think it means 'File system FAT error'. Use the solution above by IPOD tech for reformatting the hard disk. It should be OK. I used the solution to reformat my archos7 last night, and it is working fine.

Hi. What is 'completely blank'? If the screen is blank after pressing the email icon then do a master reset, or do a disk repair ( from Setting). Shay
