TT 1005 Live/MyTT problem

Hi all

For some reason I can no longer access MyTomtom for my device. I've tried a drum roll reset, different browsers, uninstall/reinstall (several times), logging out & back in to no avail. Additionally I installed MyTT onto a different computer (a netbook) & the problem replicates suggesting it's something at the device end??

Any help gratefully received.

When you connect your device over USB, do the PCs recognise the device by the usual USB connect sounds? If not, it may be the cable that's at fault OR (as it was for me about 18 months ago), a fault on the TT 1005 itself. I ended up talking to TT support and they arranged for replair/replace - it was collected and returned within a week.

No, I don't think it is recognising the device. I've tried to eliminate various things & have got a new lead on order. If that fails, I think I'm left with the conclusion that it's a fault on the device. Out of interest how much did the repair cost you?

I do not get ANY sounds when I connect a USB device to my PC, so don't just use that as evidence that it's not connecting.

When you connect the unit to the PC, does a PC icon appear in the bottom left of the TomTom's screen?

When the unit is connected to the PC, does an item appear for it in Device Manager's "Network Connections" section?
It should be listed as "TomTom #xx" (where "xx" is a one or two digit number)

On my Windows XP machine, you get to Device Manager by going to Start / Settings / Control Panel/ System Then select the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager box. Newer Windows versions may get to it slightly differently!

I got a new lead through the post today which resolved the problem immediately. I can only assume a loose connection somewhere in the old lead as it was charging the device up with no trouble at all.

Anyway, thank you for those who went to the trouble of replying. Much appreciated.
