My Archos 3 vision screen has frozen, will only switch on when reset is pressed but then will not switch off. sounds of crackling from under the screen. it was only bought in december.

I had the exact same problem on one of my phones. The problem was that half of the small ribbon cable was cut in half, so part of the touchscreen digitizer worked and the other half didn't. I had to either replace the digitizer or get a new phone.

there's a possible error on the disk or the archos storage, - a certain corrupt file could possibly the one making the unit into freeze..

POst back here again

Thank you

youtube wont work how can i solved this problem ?

press the reset button in the back with a pin or small pen, hold for 10 s or so.

Well, one thing u need to know is that Archos 3 vision cant support all file formats and codecs. U need to transcode video files to compatible format with Archos 3 vision. I recommend u Pavtube Video Converter(http://www.pavtube.com/video_converter/) which can transcode between any video files, and it still offers u foramt presets for Archos.

If it is still under warranty, you can fix it for free.

Get a pin and reset using the little hole on the rear bottom cover.

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.
