Inappropriate?Hi
I replied to someone else with this problem. Apparently it's a fault with a lot of tom tom units. There is some kind of button or thingy inside that needs to be activated or twiddled with. I sent mine off to some guy in Sheffield who sorted it out for 55 pounds. works ok now. But seems it's another of those amusing things that was added by Tom tom think they hope we will just buy new ones lol
I’m amused

Could you elaborate on the thingy please? -
Inappropriate?I have a tom tom xl one. I had to push the end of a paper clip into a tiny hole (reset button?!) to the left of sd reader slot. Then I had tpo reload my maps. It's a good idea to back up your maps to your pc; otherwise you might not be able to get it beyond the boot point. My trouble started when I purchased a Southeast region map package for $50. There wasn't enough room on the Tom Tom, so I deleted the map and apparenrtly it deleted files needed for the operating system. That's my guess anyway. So, if you purchase or add data to your tom tom, first back up the data to your pc that you are going to remove using tom tom home. Once you have backed up your data to the pc, then use tom tom home to install the data that you just purchased. This procedure is necessary only if you are purchasing maps or installing other large files to your tom tom. Installing voices or small bitmaps usually won't require that you remove any date from your tom tom. I am new at this, but it worked for me. I hope it is helpful to others.
One final note, when you connect your tom tom to your pc, please be patience. Wait for at least tweo minutes for your tom tom to boot, and do not disconnect it from your pc until you are vertain that nothing is happening.
Best of luck to all, and great thanks to Lisa for her thoughtful message.

Inappropriate?MIne's the same. I hardly ever use it so the battery runs flat - I've now had it connected to my computer for an hour, the green light is on but the unit won't turn on and my computer says "No device connected". Aaaarrrggghh!
