Did you try the hidden Reset Button? This is an old unit. https://www.fixya.com/support/t616253-archos_605_wifi_firmware_disabled https://forums.techarena.in/operating-systems/1150953.htm https://www.fixya.com/support/t616253-archos_605_wifi_firmware_disabled ..

If your Archos 605 WiFi LCD screen keeps turning off, it may be due to a few reasons:

1. Battery issues: If the battery is low or has a poor connection, the LCD screen may turn off intermittently. Try charging the battery fully and checking if the problem persists.
2. Power settings: The device may be set to turn off the LCD screen after a period of inactivity. Go to the device settings and adjust the power settings to keep the screen on.
3. Firmware issues: If the firmware is outdated or corrupted, it may cause the LCD screen to turn off. Try updating the firmware to the latest version available.
4. Hardware issues: If none of the above solutions work, it may be a hardware issue with the LCD screen or its connection. You may need to take it to a professional technician to diagnose and fix the problem.

I hope this helps!

Your tablet works like a computer, hence the fact that it is not recognized by your computer. Indeed, it is not detected and will not be connected as an external device. To transfer files from your computer to the tablet or vice versa, use the micro-SD slot to insert a memory card or share the files in a network. For more information on file sharing, please consult Windows® Support . So, it is saying to either use a micro-SD memory card, or network the tablet to share files.
