Hello,

I recently bought a used Archos 3 Vision (with the warranty expired) and I have a problem: the touchscreen is not working.
Actually, when the screen is on and I press it, it lights up, but I can't click on the icons (music, radio, etc...).
I have already done several resets but nothing works :/

If you have a solution to my problem or if you think you know where it comes from, it would be kind of you to let me know.

Thanks in advance :)

    Hello, can you adjust the screen brightness? If so, set it to lower
    Another solution: reset Archos: small hole on the back of the device, press the button with a paperclip or pointed object, be careful, this will reset the device and erase all data.

    You have two ways to reset

    frozen screen

    PROBLEM: The device is frozen and doesn't respond to tapping on the screen.
    SOLUTION: Turn off the device with the switch on the bottom and restart as normal.

    You can also press the
    reset button on the back of the device by using an object such as a toothpick.

    hold the power button
    for 10 seconds then turn it back on

    or use the toothpick
    at the back of the device

    Hello,
    Having absolutely no access to any icon (non-clickable) I cannot adjust the screen brightness.

    I have already reset the device several times, both when it is on and when it is off, but nothing works...

    Thank you for your response.

      And by connecting it to a PC, is it possible to access the device's settings?

      No, by connecting the Archos to the PC, I only have access to personal files (music, photos, videos, recordings, lyrics, etc.).
