Tom Tom 1 Not charging.

Think fault is a poor connection inside the unit with the male pin that the female charging lead attaches to. I have used 3 different leads. When I use a new lead the unit charges better for a few days then fails again(intermittantly). If I apply pressure eg use rubber bands to pull the Male pin and female lead together this helps-but it's hardly charging at all now.In fact it will not stay on. Does the male pin need a soldering job doing? thankyou in anticipation.

I have had the same problem.
after carefully dismantling the unit I resoldered the connections to the power plug.( using a fine tipped soldering iron) I did this on both sides of the pcb.
Although the joints did not look to bad after re soldering and reassembly the unit has performed faultlesly ever since.
As you have to disconnect some sockets and remove pcb,s to do the job properly its best done by someone competent in this sort of work.
One thing to note that caught me out, make sure the lead from the internal antenna is connected as you put the unit back together

Trying to sync iphone 3gs with headunit. No connection.

hi you can try this
On the back of the head unit is a short USB female connection that comes from the back of the unit. Included w/ the head unit is a USB cable with a female and male end. Its about 6ft. I plugged the included USB cable into the unit, and on the other end of the cable I attached my 3G sync cable that came with the 3G. You dont need to use a AUX cable or AUX input although there is one on the unit. Your 30 pin 3G sync cable will charge and play music through that cable. if all fails you will need to reset your unit and possibly change cable check all connections .....hope this helps goodluck with it let me know

My Toshiba Dynadock DVI has been causing all sorts of problems lately. These include: Blue Error Screens Graphic Driver crashes Display going black while plugged in Reduced GPU...

NO FUN!

I suspect your power supply MAY be your problem? As supplies age the capacitors inside begin to filter the DC poorly! Stray AC voltage (or AC content from your supply) will/can drive your components inside your Dock crazy with AC hum as false data?

Looking at the photos for your Dock I see your provided power supply does not look too beefy for all it must support? TEST with another well filtered supply...

Next check the PINS INSIDE your male connectors! Make sure none are pushed into it's body ~ below it's mates?

Also check the FEMALE connectors too ~ looking for broken MALE pins still inside the female connector bodies?

Finally try new cables?

Hope this helps!

Everything is unplugged, I just need a wiring schematic to plug everything back in

Does the motherboard have a "purple" socket?
Does your keyboard have a "purple" end?
If so, join the male to the female,
rotating the male until the stiff pins line-up with the holes.

Does the motherboard have a "green" socket?
Does your mouse have a "green" end?
If so, join the male to the female.

The end on the monitor's video-cable has 3 rows of pins;
there's only one place on the computer with 3 rows of holes.
Notice that the sides of the male are tapered,
so that it only fits ONE way into the female.

Similarly, the female end on the power-cord is tapered,
so that it only fits ONE way into the back of the computer.
Note where it connects -- there may be a "rocker" switch,
with a '1' and a '0' on the ends of the rocker.
Press the '0' end down before you reconnect everything.
Press the '1' end down after everything has been reconnected.

Do your PC speakers have a green tip?
If so, then connect the male from the speakers to the green female socket.
