Some people have found that if they take out the rubber bung on the base of the Go, it makes better contact. Have a search for comments. |

Check your T's and C's as the waranty might not have expired as yet two years waranty is not unusual for these units - Mike |

I had similar charging problems. Contacted TomTom, got the usual do this then do that type of repsonse but inthe end they sent me a box to enable me to send it to CRC at NO CHARGE. That problem was fixed but infortunately CRC left me with a clock and Bluetooth problem (it is now with TomTom in Holland - my 910 that is)
The actual original problem was a cracked main board.
My 910 did have a 2 year warrantee.
Hope that gives you a guide. _________________ Ipaq hx2750, TTN5, Globalsat 338 GPS, Garmin Nuvi 310D and GTM12, TomTom GO910 and now GO540

I got a terrific result with my TT GO710. Bought from local Maplin store 1st December 2006. Broke down 3 weeks ago, not holding a charge. After a week following suggestions unsuccessfully, it went back to Maplin's menders. A week later, Maplins rang me to say correct, the battery is dead so you need a new GO710. But they didn't have one for me, so they offered me a FULL PURCHASE PRICE credit refund. I accepted and used it to get a brand new TT GO720 and as the GO720 had already been reduced, in addition to the new unit, I got £55 credit note.
The 710 had a 2 year manufacturers warranty and it failed just inside Maplin's 1 year warranty. _________________ Dennis

AND .... When I took GO720 #5 back to Halfords, I first got a Nuvi 660FM, PLUS £30 gift vouchers for the lower price, but hated it, so they agreed to swap it for a 720 again. Only this time, the 720 had gone down in price so I got another £20 in vouchers.
So instead of a GO710 and a GO720, I now have two GO720s and £105 in credit notes and vouchers. I would like to say I was perfectly happy to pay the original prices for all my kit and would also have been perfectly happy to get straight swaps for all the exchanges. I never asked for a refund. The credits/vouchers were 'forced' upon me by both shops, for whom selling a new item and crediting an old receipt meant that credits were unavoidable. In effect, I got a full refund then bought a replacement at a cheaper price. I NEVER tempt my luck by popping down sewers. I cannot think of a single thing I'd like to buy in Halfords or Maplins with my vouchers/credit note.
All this would have been unnecessary if GO720 #1 had worked properly (and #2, #3, #4 and #5). Anita's had none of my worry AND she hasn't got megga flu. _________________ Dennis
