<p>Taking the Archos apart requires a torx driver and a <i>very</i> small phillips head screwdriver. The phillips screwheads are about 2mm in diameter.

<p>Also see the page dedicated to

<p>The two circuit boards in the Archos are here called the "top" and "bottom" board. They are both populated on both sides.

<h3>Bottom of bottom board</h3>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.in-system.com/200_silicon.html">In-Systems ISD200</a> ATA to USB bridge
<li><a href="http://www.ssti.com/products/37vfxxx.html">SST 37VF020</a> 2MB flash ROM
<li><a href="http://www.issiusa.com/pdf/41c16105.pdf">ISSI IS41LV16105</a> 2MB fast page DRAM
<li><a href="http://www.sipex.com/products/pdf/SP690_805ALM.pdf">Sipex SP692ACN</a> Low Power Microprocessor Supervisory with Battery Switch-Over (partly covered with white insulation in the photo)
<li>A standard Motorola AC139 logic IC (text unreadable in the photo)
</ul>

<h3>Top of bottom board</h3>
<p>Removing the bottom board involves bending a couple of metal holders that break very easily. Be careful. 
The board is connected via two pin connectors, one at each end.
