It is possible to do but if you brick the unit trying this don't blame me! - have a read of This thread where you will find a "How To change a battery on the 910" complete with pictures etc - Mike |

Very difficult one to say as I have not seen the device, it could even be the hard drive that has failed, is there any audible click/ noise from the hard drive if you power it from the car and switch it on? - Mike |

I would suggest you contact the chaps at "Sat-Nav Shop" which can be found Here they will have a better idea, or if the device is less than two years old use TomTom as it has a two year waranty - Mike |
