Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 20:33:22 -0500 My Rec 20 V1 stopped charging properly after I upgraded the hard drive about a year ago. I just tried it again and it goes to "charging" then goes to 100% "top off" a few minutes later and it will actually shut itself off with the charger still plugged in, which it isn't supposed to be able to do. Is it possible that I knocked something out of alignment when I had the box open? I'm wandering if the charger isn't tripping the power on switch inside the receptacle without making proper contact with the charging unit. I haven't really worried about it much since I have 2 sets of batteries and just swap them out and use an external charger. I would hate to have a permanent battery I couldn't easily swap out.

It doesn't power-on anymore when I plug in the charger but the solder points inside the archos seemed to be fine. If i apply 5V to the battery-connectors the unit *does* work. Since I'm not an electronics expert, I don't know where to look for broken parts inside the player. Those SMD-parts are looking all the same to me ;) Any hints?
