ARCHOS 70 IT 250Gb: Touchscreen &/or System slow or not responsive

The ARCHOS 70 Internet Tablet 250Gb is a wonderful system, but I found it to have some issues.

One particular issue that has caused me grieve, is the touchscreen; it seems not responsive or very slow responding at times, and sometimes completely off calibration. Using the in system calibration, seems not to do much. Sometimes I had to hold my finger up to 10 seconds on the back button to get a response.

The easy way to get rid of this is repairing the calibration in the “Recovery start-up”

Follow the 5 steps below:

1. Power on the system while holding the volume + or - keep holding the volume button until you see the recovery screen. (img1)

Hope this works for you too. Good Luck.
