Hi Guys
last night I tried a new SD card in my Tomtom One and when I turned the device on I couldn’t see anything but a white screen, I reset the device so many times but to no avail I don’t know what could be causing this I even tried with the old SD card but the problem is still there and when I switch the device on I only see a white blank screen can anyone please help or point me to the right direction.

have you by any chance used a 5/7/910 series card in your ONE?

good thinking... but with a wrong bootloader the screen shouldn't be white from the start, it only whitens when the kernel panics. I'd rather think it is a hardware failure.

It's not thinking, it's experience - 6 customers so far who've done that :-) and some of them described the screen as "going white"

"going white" is definitely a sign of wrong boot loader. But "white on switch-on" should be different, or?

you'll see the Hands of Death :-) when you first switch it on, but the next time it would be white screen, uome didn't say how it happens exactly.

tnx guys for your time Eldar was right, the SD card which I loaded had files associated with Tomtom GO.
Anyways I had to take it back and got a new one.

I was trying to upgrade my SD card on an old TT One (4N00.003) so that I could install the latest version of Navigator and got hit by the "unable to activate my maps" bug where I could do it via TT Home but not the device.

Found this thread http://www.yournav.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7281&st=22 with a solution and found the files and the procedure here http://www.satnav-shop.com/index.php?ln=en&pg=6&sec=19.

Followed it and all went well except on reboot I got the white screen as described above. I assumed the flash had gone wrong but now it occurs to me that I was working with a backup SD card and I may have inadvertently used the one from my TT Go.

Am I sunk? Anyway to fix this? If it helps I have another TT One unit that still functions. Anyway to copy the kernel across?

Any advice appreciated.
