My tom tom go910 will not activate? It will only show a piture of

Internal memory was damaged when dropped.. OR the SD card if it has one. Replace the sd card and copy data over from back up

the problem it has is the software seems to either have a problem or the mapping itself is the problem, if you bought the device brand new from a shop like halfords, then you will have the TomTom 1 year warranty, but you need your reciept for it to be authorised.
if you have done a back up of the device previously on tom tom home then you can format it and it may back up ok.

alternatively go into any Halfords or other store and speak to the specialists and they'll give you any info they can give.

Assuming that your Tomtom is a Go910 or similar:
The normal solution for this problem is to reset your device.
This is done by pressing the reset button (usually found at the rear of the device) for a at least 15 seconds.
Once you have done this, turn your machine on and the red cross should have gone.

Well i am writing this wile I am trying this out...
I have a TomTom Go 910 that has a RED CROSS FLASHING on the bottom corner, what I have found is that if you have backed up your TomTom Go i maybe able to reset the TomTom Go on my computer but if you havent you may have to find on try finding one on google but i have a TomTom Go 910 you can download the 910 on http://rapiddigger.com/download/backup-go-910-rar-9110176/.

after you found the back-up you can connect your TomTom Go to your computer using the USB provided from your TomTom Go, replace the doggie file with the new one, then this should change it back to the FIRST update given...

(WARNING >> PLEASE scan the file befor you put it in your TomTom Go it might contain a very very evil virus<< WARNING)

your tom tom need a sim card what go on the side of it that y you got the red cross through it please go back to the shop where you got it and ask for you tom tom sim card then it will work 100%

try to reset the unit. There is a small hole on the bottom of the unit, insert a small pin on the hole and hold it for a couple of seconds and it will reset it, you might loose the addresses saved so you might want to copy them before resetting it.

You need to reset it, by holding in the reset button for 15 seconds. If there is an SD card or memory card of any kind, take this out first. sometimes you have to use something sharp like a paper clip, and push it into a small reset 'hole' in the back of the unit.
then put the memory card back in. then look online for step-by -step instructions, usually from the vendor, on how to update the software, if indeed it is at all necessary. Also, try doing the update on a PC instead, there's a chance it's not supported for Macs. I know this is controversial.. i hate Windows too.. :)

hopefully the reset button will resurrect yr tomtom though.
good luck
