Help, ATA pbs...
« on: November 01, 2004, 06:35:17 AM »
it doesn't want to start : it writes "ATA error : -52 Press ON to debug"   What's the matter ??

It also writes "*PANIC* ata : -52" and red LED flashing... :'(
Please help me !

My batteries are full... and neither USB mode nor "normal use" mode are working !

Thank you...

There are some possibilities:

1) Broken batteries - try a fresh set

2) Broken battery connections - try to squeeze the box in different directions

3) Broken hard drive - try it in a laptop

OK, thank you for the piece of advice !

I'd already tried with a new battery set...

The hard drive starts to spin but doesn't "scratch" as it used to do...

I had a week ago an ATA -1 error but it worked properly since that problem...

Thank you for your help !

I think your battery connectors might be broken. What happens if you squeeze the box?

It seems not to do anything...Nothing happens

The HD is still spining but doesn't read !

I hope my data not to be lost.

Can I fix it myself ? If not I will send my unit back to archos... What could be the cost of such operation ?

Thank you !

I havce no idea how much it costs. If the drive is spinning, the connectors are probably fine. It might be that the drive is security-locked... Right now I can't remember how to determine if it is, but I can find that out for you.

Could you tell me what happened before the ATA error occurred?

If it is locked, you can go here to read about how to unlock it:

Good luck!

It was plugged on 230V but not charging (why, I don't know).

I've tried to read data on my archos from a remate computer over my netwok but hard drive has failed to spin because of low batteries...it was making the same noise as when you shut it down while hard drive spinning...

I will try to follow instructions to unlock my box !

Thank you very much !

That sounds like a situation where it might have locked the drive.

If it wasn't charging, you might have accidentally enabled the "deep discharge" option.
