A bit late but FWIW, I had this problem. I eventually just moved any data I needed to a safe place & fully reset it.
To reset, hold the power button & volume up button simultaneously. It should boot to a screen that tells you what to do next. I think they ask you to keep holding the power button for a reset. Do that & you'll see a big old 3D Android figure & a blue progress bar. Give it a minute & it should eventually load. After that I got a screen that said it was "updating" & gave me a percentage countdown. It finally booted like normal to factory settings. All of my data was gone but it now turns on/off like it should.

to create the menu tab on your homepage right click in the top toolbar you should see a number of toolbar options select the menu tab which will add File Edit View Favorites Tools and Help

Depending on WHEN your tablet was purchased, you can send it back to Archos to be repaired. (via their website http://www.archos.com/support/). I have broken the pin off in mine TWICE since I got it last November and both times I sent it back to Archos to fix free of charge. They paid for shipping and repaired it for free even though it was MY FAULT! so far there were no questions asked! I have been very pleased with their customer service (even tho i have never talked to a real person they have handled the issue and I am extremely happy). there are 2 issies w/returning it however, 1. you LOSE ALL YORU DATA. they wipe it out. I tried doing a back up and then reloading it to my tablet when i got it back but haven't been able to figure out how to get it back on. 2. You will be w/out your tablet for about a month! :( Good luck!!!!!

LOL, ok, Reformat does just that (Delete All Files). Unless you have them backed up someplace outside of the computer, they are history.

Format and Recovery deletes everything. Recovery will set your system back to the time you first purchased it. But your personal files will be gone.

System Restore on the other hand does not delete anything. It allows you to restore your system back to a particular date and time. Your documents, music, pictures, videos, data and programs will not be deleted. You might have to reinstall programs that you installed after the date and time you selected.

show it to mecanic or replace it

Try this:
Power your Archos 101 off by holding the Power Button for 10 seconds (this fully shuts it down).
While holding the Volume + button power it back up (tap power button to start up, hold volume until the tablet enters recovery mode, you'll see a series of choices instead of the demo mode).
Choose the Format System option.
When this process is complete make sure not to select Demo Mode as Android boots and the Archos 101 gets up and running.

Just use the provided USB cable and connect the tablet to PC. Windows will recognize it as another drive (USB Mass Storage similar as USB HDDs and USB sticks). Copy the APK file anywhere (for example to Downloads folder. Then unplug from PC and run the Files application on Archos. Browse to the directory and clicking on the APK filewill start installation process.

Use a pin to press the reset pinhole on the back
