 |
|
| The display on my GO 300 keeps going off, sometimes completely and other times back to the green screen. It only lasts a couple of seconds and it resumes where it left off. Does anyone know what the problem could be? |

I wonder if a dodgy sd card could be the culprit? I guess I better contact TomTom directly.  |

If the screen is turning green, it could be an LCD fault.
What you could try doing is taking a screen shot when it turns green and view that image on your PC - if it looks normal, that would indicate and LCD fault.

Thanks but when I say green, I mean with the TomTom background. I've just noticed that the light on the windscreenholder/charger isn't lit so I'm wondering if it's a power issue. |

| How much free space is available on the SD card? They do have a tendecy to reboot themselves if they haven't got any spare memory to play with. |

I'm only using 117mb and it's a 1gig card. I've ordered another charger as it seems to be my cheapest option to try.  |
