My old mum gave me her 2 year old Archos as she was given an iPad mini for Christmas. Done a restore factory settings and downloaded the latest firmware as directed by the device and it installed (I believe) then asked to do a reboot. I pressed OK, it shut down, it hasn't rebooted. Left it for 2 hours and still no sign of life.
I googled it and there's very little, ie hold the -/+ volume button at same time - did nothing. There are only 3 buttons on the thing lol
What do I do with it now?
