When I connect my tomtom go700 via usb to my PC it no longer shows up. The screen remains blank on the tomtom. If I turn the tomtom on it makes to difference. the battery in the tom tom is fully charged.

Any help please.

Does the TT come on normally?

If Yes, check that the USB lead is firmly plugged in both ends.

Have you tried another USB lead? Also the TT has to be on anyway when connected to the PC.

Same problem here with TT Go 700. Updated using the Home program from TomTom Site this morning to the new version 6.140. All works ok but 700 will not connect to PC. Connect as normal and switch on - mapping comes up and the PC says no connection.

On one occasion a screen came up on the 700 and asked if I wished to connect to the PC. On hitting the YES button it connected - but not since.

Any answers anyone. Seems to be as a result of the upgrade.

same story as autocruise, did the update which went ok. now when I connect via usb the tomtom does not get seen by the pc. checked "my computer" not shown there either try with tomtom on and off. tried another usb lead and different usb sockets no luck.

the tomtom screen stays off does not go into sync mode. when i put it in the car it works ok.

Have you tried a Reset? Pin-in-the-hole. Hold it in for a few seconds.

tried the pin once made no difference, using usb on computer no hubs. not sure if i need to use the pin over & over till it works but scared it might damage the tomtom. anyone had results this way. I have emailed tomtom awaiting to see if i get any reply.

any other tips in the meantime would be helpful

[tried connecting to the pc first then turning on the pc to see if it would get detected = it corrupted the pc bios had to clear the cmos for a restart of pc. ]

the new update pauses longer than expected on the flash screen. after waiting a minute or so the option comes up asking to connect to a computer. Wink

Thanks Oldboy that worked for me also, Should have been the first thing to try, but as every thing else was working fine I never considered it.
BTW you seem a knowlegable chap, so do you know what files to delete to remove the now redundant "cat apps".

I'm touching wood whilst I write this.

Upgraded to 6.14 and not had any of the issues you guys with700's describe.
