#include "head.t"

<p>
 This guide will show you how to repair the battery connectors on your
 Jukebox Recorder V1. You will need some soldering skills, and not be afraid
 of opening up your jukebox. If you have second thoughts about this, let
 somebody else do it for you. <a href=http://www.newmp3technology.com>
 NewMP3Technology</a> can certainly help you with that.

<h2>Symptoms</h2>
A loose battery connector can give all kinds of weird behaviour:

<ul>
 <li>Drastically lowered battery runtime
 <li>It shuts down or reboots when you squeeze the bumpers
 <li>It refuses to start up, saying something like this:
     <pre>
      HD register error
      SC1 (85) 128
      SN1 (170) 128
      SC2 (170) 128
      SN2 (85) 128
     </pre>
</ul>

<h2>Performing the surgery</h2>
First you open up your recorder, this is described
<a href=http://rockbox.haxx.se/mods/disassemble.html>here</a>.
<p>
This picture shows you the two solder joints that most often are broken.

<p>
 Now you fire up your soldering iron and resolder the joints. Make sure that the PCB really is connected to the metal housing.

<p>
Once you have resoldered all joints, reassemble the archos and start it up.
The reassembly is described

<p>
Good luck!
