My TomTom 510 will not hold charge and now cannot be switched on

I don't particularly want to buy an after market battery (£16 incl. postage) in case that doesn't solve the problem.

I am able to delve inside if there is a fix available - I just want my TomTom working again! (Not bothered about using it 'on battery'.)

I would have a TOmTOm again as I love the system.....

Thanks Claire

If you are not bothered about using it on battery your tt should work if you have it hooked up to a external power supply such as the car charger or home charger. If it doesn't work using either of the power supplies then your problem is deeper than just needing a new battery. Check the pins on the bottom of your tt to see if they are bent, or out of place. The most common problem for them is the negative pin on the far left with the lcd screen facing away from you gets bent or is not making contact even though the green light is on.
Hope this helps

Tomtom 510 doesn't reset
Before you keep resetting your tomtom I would intall a new battery. Call your closest "batteries plus store" or "radioshack store" and then try to reset it, it might be only the battery and nothing to do with the reseting.....

Will not take a charge
I have just the same problem. Initially the battery was flashing to say that it was low on charge even when it was plugged in, then it flashed that the battery was empty and switched itself off. When plugged in the green light comes on, but still cannot turn TomTom 710 on. Also it will not connect to the computer.
