Hi, i have a similar problem with my FM20.The problem started without any
warning.If i press anywhere around the centre of the unit it will display
the USB logo and then reboot (if using the archos firmware) or just drop out
back into rockbox.
Something is shorting out (or broken track/component) inside and causing
this.
This is my second unit and this one is going back next week for another
replacement unit.
Im not impressed now with the build quality of these things...
Only advice i could give to you is to remove any ajbrec.ajz from the drive
and boot from rom.
If that doesn't sort it then remove the battery cover leave it for 5mins,
replace then try again.
If it still plays up then you had better send it back under warranty, if it
is.
Cheers
Gonz
