Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 00:37:37 +0200 Hello Jens, after a loooooong time, here's my definite answer: No, it doesn't help. Today I had to run again for quite some time, and it happened at one occasion when I turned on the box and started to run immediately, the sound took about 20 seconds to start, was playing for 5 seconds and then it stopped. Play/Pause would change the play/pause sign (not sure how this is at RLD, I think it's the same), but on, F1, etc didn't work. The red led was off. After that I turned the archos off, waited for a few seconds, started to run, and at the next spinup I got the RLD. What does the Disk poweroff do, actually (as in: when, why, where does it turn off)? It didn't seem to be documented, neither in the manual nor in the IRC logs. And why could this help? Or are there any other suggestions of things I could look to in the debug menu or at other places? Thanks, Ronald On Mon, 04 Apr 2005 20:06:21 +0200, Jens Arnold <arnold-j_at_t-online.de> wrote: > Hello Ronald > >> Today I was running again (delayed train...), and pressed On >> before I did.
