 Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 10:58 pm Post subject: TomTom wont charge battery |
 |
|
Hi,
My tomtom doesnt seem to keep its battery charge. I have to plug it into the cigrette lighter all the time. The charging symbol flashes like it is charging but when i pull the lead out it switches itself off and wont switch on unless i plug it in.
Thinking it was a battery problem, i bought a new longer life battery and fitted it. At first i thought it had worked but now its gone right back to how it was previously. Its a pain because i cant use the tomtom when walking around which could be useful.
Anyone had the same problem? any help or advice?
Thank you. |

The light is only an indication that the external power is being applied.
Your symptoms would suggest that there is a problem with the charging circuit.
You're best course of action might be to have a word with the guys at SatNav-Shop.
