Try a reset. Push pin into hole underneath.
The file extensions are Linux/TomTom, not Windows!! Do not delete any!! The .chk files are NOT rubbish, they are the sound files. _________________ TTGO 700 (dead)

What model of TomTom? You may have overfilled the card. It needs space for temporary files. _________________ TTGO 700 (dead)

Its the TT One, its got files in Great_Britain-map with no file extentions wat so every, with file names like: ░ác┬Ò>Ó and ã,ÓÖ ß@ß.ÓÓf
Also folders like: (ß2 `ÑÓ.úÓ
Looks very currupt to me, but all the normal files look to still be there... What does the restore util on the Tomtom cd actualy do? does it replace everyfile on the SD Card, or is it only for the booter on the device
Cheers guys! |

Also theres 4.96mb left on the SD card, is this enough? or does it use this space for cache? |

that depends on what backup you've made - full or settings. What's the size of the backup? |

format the card and restore your backup. Important: you don't have to take this advice, you are doing it at your own risk. |
