A playback/record toggle switch on the Archos 605 can control whether video is output to an external display, and the switch position affects what appears on screen.
Connecting external 5V power to an Archos 605 does not inherently cause video output problems if the existing wiring configuration is preserved.
The playback mode toggle switch may inadvertently be set to record mode when external power is connected, resulting in a black screen on the video output.

The exact wiring configuration and which specific power accessory was used are not fully documented.
It is unclear whether the issue was definitively resolved or if it was only a switch position problem.
The discussion does not confirm whether the Video DA modification mentioned was necessary or ultimately used.
Information about the travel adapter video capabilities is incomplete and inconclusive.
