help neede with tomtom 510

[killeruk]

i`ve just had my tomtom returned from tomtom as it was being repaired,before it went to tomtom i was using a 1gb sd card and it worked fine now that my tomtom has returned the card will not work any more but my original one does work it keeps asking me to for an activation code and when i enter the code it say`s sorry wrong code but it worked before i sent it off to tomtom can anybody help me out

[Oldboy]

It could be that they have changed the Unit, or given it a new Device Number. The original Card would be pre-activated.

Go to www.ttcode.com and use the Device Code that is shown when the 510 asks for the Activation and use the Map Product Code to get a New Activation Code.

i`ve tried what u suggested and it still will not work is there anything else that i can do

[Oldboy]

Are you putting the right number in? The number that was generated by ttcode.com

Are you using the right Product Number? The one that comes with the Map you have on the larger Card.

Is it the same Map as you have on the smaller (original) Card?

What is the difference between the smaller, and larger, Cards? Other than the size.

We'll need quite a bit of info if we're going to sort this out for you.

i`ve put in the number that ttcode gave me and it didn`t work, the only product code that i`ve got is for the original card which is the smaller off the cards,not sure if it`s the same map on each card how can i find out,the smaller originsal card is 238meg and tne new igig card is 242 meg, i must point out the larger i gig card is a copy off the smaller original card which did work before i sent it back to tomtom, the small card if now full and i`m unable to update the card that`s why i got a bigger card any help would be greatful

If the newer card is a copy of the original then the supplied product code should work.

I would Copy the contents of the 1GB Card to the PC, as a safeguard. Make sure you have hidden Files shown in Windows Explorer, Folder Options.

Make sure that you have a Copy of the smaller Card also on the PC.

Reformat the 1GB Card, and Copy the Copy of the smaller Card to the now clean 1GB Card.

Check that it works. You might need to use the Reset. You shouldn't need to activate the map.

You can now add the custom POIs, etc that you had before.
