You need to boot into the original Archos firmware by switching the unit
off, then hold down F1 key, then insert the charger (while still holding
down F1 and unit swithced off). The JB will power up into Archos firmware
and immediately start charging the batts.

Hmm, lots of people having this same problem, and are not able to think of
the solution themselves, could someone please add this to the FAQ if it
isn't already there. Maybe a mention in the flashing howto wouldn't go
amiss either.

Apparantly the newer bootloader fixes this problem, but I haven't tried it
myself.

Stu.
