|
|
I think I may have broken my tomtom one.
When I power it on, I just get a completely white screen, I have tried resetting it, but it makes no difference. The unit wont respond to anything other than the power switch and the reset button. The PC wont recognise it when I plug it into the USB.
I thought I'd see if the maps (from my legally bought copy I might add) from my tomtom 5 for my ipaq would work on this, so I fired up the map installation program and selected to install the spanish map , and then selected to install it onto the tomtom go (closest to a tomtom one I thought), which it detected and proceded to install. It all copied across fine, then when the unit rebooted it displayed the tomtom go screen, but then froze, and now I just get a white screen.
Have I completely it? I couldnt find any other posts with this same problem.
I cant update the application as the PC doesent see the device. |

Sounds like you might have.
Did you do anything to it, or did it just (not) wake up like that one day? |

Damn this "no editing" bug on this board!
I meant to add, you should still be under guarantee, its usually 2 years for TomTom products. Check your small print. |

Have you got the TomTom plugged in via an addaptor (multi-way USB Hub)? If so unplug the hub and try a direct connection with the PC, also try a different cable, it might be damaged - Mike |

if there is no physical damage to the screen, the most likely casue is a software conflict between the bootloader and the application. |
