I agree one hundred percent!
My box is more or less dead now, it hasn't worked for about 24 hours. Sometimes I don't even
get the Rockbox boot screen, just an ATA error. Along with the fact that the sound (for mp3 only)
goes off sometimes and the constant RLOD's....
It's depressing because:
    a) i really enjoy listening to music when and where I want
    and b) I really enjoy the Rockbox world, waiting for updates, tinkering myself etc.
but without an Archos product I can't have Rockbox.
XClef...is it the way forward?

<rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se>Sent: 03/06/2004 14:57Subject: AJBR20 Dying?My AJBR

has a Hitachi Travelstar 80GB in it with 4x 2300mAh Lenmar


batteries. It has been working perfectly for many months but yesterday it


gave me a variety of problems. I use my AJBR daily to transfer files to and


from work using the USB2.0 connection. It is constantly powered with a 9VDC


power supply.






The errors started when I could no longer see the unit in Windows. Then


when I tried rebooting the unit, I would get either a *PANIC* DISK NULL, or


DISK ATA -71 error. I would also get HDD register errors sometimes. I


replaced the batteries with newer, fully charged 2300mAh ones. The problem


remained. Furthermore, the unit would have difficulty booting when no


external power is supplied - as if the battery power wasn't enough - the LCD


was dimming. Now I know the batteries are fully charged and can supply more


than enough current to run the thing. I made sure the HDD was OK by


removing it and testing it out on a PC, and thankfully it was fine.






Any thoughts, suggestions?
