USB Host problem on Archos 101

It has recently been brought to our attention that some Archos 101 IT tablets are having USB host problems.

If your tablet does not recognize your storage USB device, we recommend to test the USB host function with a regular USB keyboard or mouse, as your storage USB device may not be supported.  If your tablet still does not recognize simpler devices, then you should contact Archos support to confirm the failure and issue an RMA to get a new device.

Current user feedback shows that this issues occurs more frequently on devices with board version 5.

You can identify your board version going in Settings/About device, the board version will be in the bottom of the list. (v5 means version 5)

   Hello.

   I’ve got the v6 in 2.4.19 and my USB Host doesn’t work too.
   I’ve already contact Archos France and 1 day later, they send me my RMA.

   thx for your article.

   Thanks. It was driving me crazy trying to figure out why the usb keyboard would not work. I have a V5 board. Also, I have noticed some dead spots on the screen when typing or playing a game, though this may not be related.

   My Archos 101it motherboard version is V6 and had trouble with USB after upgrade firmware from 2.0.54 to 2.0.71 and not fix until now (2.1.8)

   Referred your article, I tried to contact Archos representative in Indonesia, and I got a new one.

   But, the new one have a motherboard version V5 !!

   USB port works properly.

   thanks for your article!!
