fw little iw ...my wild guess is that when the circuit blew, you _damaged_
something 'near-by' (ie a transistor/resistor) This may be causing just
enough overload to the main device to trigger it's repeated demise ...I am
sure that the right amount of work may track down the fault - but in honesy
*I* would give up about here or you could be chasing dead components around
for ever on a cheap-to-replace device.

Replacement? ebay and another little mp3-only archos unit ...at least until
Rockbox is dusted off for the new super colour all-codec units in the pipeline.

Sorry, not words of encouragement from me :( ...but, as is my way, the
truth as I believe it to be.
