|
|
Hi,
I returned my tomtom 510 for repair 3 weeks ago after finding the battery went flat after 2-3 days standing having been fully charged and not used. At first I thought it might be getting accidentaly switched on while I was driving, but after leaving it on my desk for 3 days again it went flat.
Tomtom have returned my 510 to me, but the fault is still present.
Has anyone else had this problem or a similar issue? Did tomtom rectify it?
Thanks
Adam |

I can't say that I have Adam.
The GO is new to me but when I used TTN on my PDA if it was accidentally left switched on the system shut it down after a certain period.
I assume the GOs don't do this? |

The GO's will normally last several weeks in a 'switched off' state.
There is some overhead, when switched off, with the Device ticking over in the background. I've never heard of any going flat in 2-3 days. _________________ Richard

Thanks for confirming its a fault Richard, I will be returning it to tomtom again.
This time they have requested that I return my tomtom, the in car mount and home charger.
Hopefully this time, it comes back reparied!
