Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 05:14:25 +0200 Tony, keep cool... From what I have learned on this list the charging process of the FMR is NOT controlled by Rockbox, it is a hardware feature of the FMR. So if your batteries are dead Archos may not incriminate Rockbox. Anyway you should first do what Bjorn advised you to do : plug your FMR to its AC adapter and forget it for 24 hours. I would be surprised that you could not at least start it then, even if the batteries are still low. As far as I can hear when my JBR is idle with its AC adapter plugged on, a small noise in the box is not abnormal, although I could not explain you what is causing it... 8-) Last thing regarding your warranty : nowhere in their documents they say that you may not put a different firmware on your HD, whether intentional or not...
