My 101 came with a defective LCD cable.... so me being me I popped it open and managed to get the screen working.... within a matter of a couple days it was right back to how it was.... upon re opening I realized the LCD ribbon cable was making VERY poor connection just before the LCD screen connection. I have looked for a few days now to locate a cable to no avail.... If anyone could help me out,.. or sell me a working cable that would be awesome!
ribbon

regards dav
Hello,
I have a problem with the SATA hard drive connector to the tablet.
The connector is broken and I need a new one, do not know where to buy.
I need help.
Thanks.
Hi folks,
Has anyone ever had touchscreen issues with the 101 G9 Turbo?
I have a very simular issue to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458555&highlight=multitouch
I recently purchased two Archos G9 101 Turbo (1.5Ghz) tablets both had the same touchscreen defect. Video shown has "Developer options, Show touches" enabled. http://youtu.be/V5OYq9E5j1I
Anything more than a gentle touch on the screen will cause a number of additional touches in the surrounding area. Even holding the tablet from the rear using one hand will cause this problem.
I never had this problem with the original G9 101...
Is this normal or a genuine hardware defect?
I'm trying to work out if I should return them and get a replacement or go for a refund
Thanks

I have a new 101 G9 Turbo and have no similar touch screen issues.
Sounds like a HW issue to me.

Is your model a 1.5Ghz/512Mb or 1.2Ghz/512Mb ? have you had it long?
Thanks

As per my signature, it's 1.5GHz CPU, 1Gb RAM, 16Gb Flash. Had it about 2 weeks (bought to replace a smashed 80G9 non-turbo!)

I took them back to HMV they brought out another tablet with a very different serial number but again it had the same fault.
Might have to try a different store

Touchscreen defect
Already got two Archos 101G9 Turbos with same problem.
Waiting for third device under guarantee. I hope this is a hardware bug from one batch.
Waiting already 8 weeks for new device, according to Archos ´waiting for spare parts to repair´.
Sounds they know what the problem is and dont swap for a new one.
Fingers crossed.

Frank are yours also the 8Gb model?
I think it only affects recent (2012?) 8GB 1.5Ghz Turbo models with ICS pre-installed.
I've managed to get two older 16GB 1.5Ghz Turbo's with Honeycomb which are un-affected, they feel much more rigid and dont flex.

Richard, I have the Archos 101g9 250Gb Turbo. I tried ICS pre-installed version, ICS rooted version, Android 3.2.
All the same problem.
It looks like software/driver problem because the screen rotates when I rotate the tablet when the touchscreen is not working.
Maybe if the tablet is hot, or busy, or coming back from stand-by. I cant find a cause yet, and now its already for two months at Archos for guarantee

For those who experience problems with the lcd screen of there Archos, I can tell you why this happens.
I have an Archos 101 g9 250 gb Tablet. I now experience problems with my screen. When I press the bottom of the tablet the screen flickers, All kind of colors show.
My warranty is over, I contacted archos in France, China (manufacturer). No reply at all.
I found out that this is an problem that happens a lot with Archos tablet.
So what to do now. I opened it, checked the yellow ribbon that connects the lcd screen to the hardware of the tablet. See the pictures. After some fiddling I found out that the ribbon has a weak part.
The ribbon is made out of two parts. The connection to the lcd screen is 40 pin, while the ribbon itself is 20 pin. They soldered the 40 pin to the 20 pin. Where it is soldered together some pins are broken.
This 40 pin connection is on the bottom of the lcd screen. So, when you press on the bottom of the tablet, you automatically press on the connection.
I tried to repair it, but I found out that repairing is impossible. It is to small.
And now I can throw the tablet away.
