My tomtom 510 has decided to 'lock up' when I turned it on today, I can't turn it off. Just shows the picture of a tomtom (opening screen). I've connect it to my PC but no luck - any ideas.

PS Its a week old and has been working fine.

They like to do that atleast once in their lief time. Just grab a paperclip and reset the unit by poking the paper clip in the right place at the back.

This happened to mine and I had to send it back to TT. I still have not got it back(3 weeks) yet support states it will be returned within 5 - 10 days. What a load of *^!"

Just another case of where tomtom is failing on its part. Product faults, poor customer service, poor efficiency in updates ... whats next ?

Good luck in getting your tomtom back in one piece and not riddled with further problems.

No problem Ollie. Glad to hear its back functioning. What Ive noticed is that it actually functions better after the at-least-once-in-its-life papaer clip trick. Maybe they need to poke them up the backside before sending them onto retailer ? Laughing
