Battery drained, won't boot. Flashing light

Post by ApplePie »

So I got my Archos 10.1 a few months ago as one of the first. I used for a couple of months and it worked all fine. Untill today. I let my battery (by accident) drain fully. Now when I add it to my power supply it starts blinking the on/off light. When I press the on/off button and hold it for 10 seconds it starts giving a solid green light, but when I press the on/off button once and for 1 sec or so it starts blinking again.

I tried charging with the blinking and the solid green light but both don't work.

Can someone help me?

Give it ten or 15 minutes on the charger and then try the reset again. Mine does this also but if I give it a couple of minutes to recharge it works again.

A blinking light means full charge.
Was the charger plugged in?
Sounds to like a problem I had.
I had the same thing and so I opened the case and found a part of of place. When I moved the part the screen came on and I closed it back up.

If the green light blinking frequency is fast then it means you don't have enough charge to boot the device. Hold on to the power button until you had a steady green light then leave the table for atleast 10 mins. Then press power button again the device will boot.
