aaarrghhhhhhh again.

This is not my night...

First off, sorry - the bit about the charge cycle - ignore me, I was being
stupid - connecting the mains is sufficient to start it charging ...but if
you connect the mains and THEN try to start the JBR, THEN you need to hold
the on button for a few seconds to get it to start.

Very sorry for the misinformation ...seems to be my word-for-the-day.

You've now got ME intrigued...

This "re-set settings" thingy ...is this an Archos or a Rockbox thing?
It would be nice to get my unit to behave the same way as yours :)
