why does the unit buzz and freeze on startup?

We have NOT had this problem with our unit, so we are unable to answer this question. Take it back, get another one!

Hi Delta did you ever solve the problem with the freeze after suspend? I found it unacceptable, and Archos hasn't been able to solve it, I'm ready to return the unit.

I also had a display go completely unresponsive. You can do a seach online on how to reseat the ribbon cables to the unit , as that might help, or if you have two systems, you can swap displays to get the heat going for the affected zone.Ultimately I ended up ordering a new unit to solve my problem.

I've only seen it do that when starting up. If yours is stuck, you may have to send it in for service.

Just got one on Tuesday 2/9/10. Same buzzing problem, but found out it was getting some type of interference from our space heater. Look for something that may be causing the same thing in your home. We turned off the space heater and now we're colder, but NO BUZZING. Hope this helps!

It may be a defective unit or if you added any devices (dvd drive, new video card. etc) you may need a more powerful power supply. Also make sure you are using a surge protector. I hope I am not insulting your intelligence.

Right out of the box my tv had this problem. I have had it for 3 months and it has buzzed for approximately 5 seconds(until picture becomes visible) every time I turn it on. At first I thought I would be able to deal with it but the more I read about failures down the road, the more I think I am going to return it.

Same here. Worked great for a while then started with buzz/static that makes it unbearable to use.

I never had this issue. Works great for me. Maybe a bad unit?? Sorry I couldn't help.

Mine is definitely silent. It only buzzes/clicks when there is a power fluctuation, which is very rare. I'd suggest to check your line voltage at the outlet before condemning the unit. If that's ok, then yes, your unit may be faulty.

This seems to be a common issue with these units. Mine does it also. Wish I had an answer.

"horizontal lines and a buzzing sound" You don't say whether you tried the unit both plugged into the charger and on battery power alone. The buzzing sound might be a symptom of a faulty charger that is not converting 60Hz alternating house current to 5 volt direct current. If both the computer and the charger were healthy, the unit would boot up normally after only a few minutes of charge. My suggestion is to email Wol Vol (you can Google their website to to this) and describe the problem. Wol Vol will almost certainly instruct you to return the unit for exchange or refund; they have an excellent return policy. Joe Gunn

Did you ever get an answer? Mine appears to be buzzing all the time too - I agree. Extremely annoying.

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot.2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage?3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

None.. Plug it in and enjoy.. NO problems and great air output. Can't go wrong here.
