First, check and make sure your battery is fully charged. Then try to do a "Reset" .... by pressing and holding down the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds (or a lot more) until the device powers on again. Yes, at times, it may take a minute or more ! of holding that button down.

push the reset button for 15 second then push on/off button for 5 second, it will start now

i had the same problem; there is a simple reset solution, which is not described in either of the manuals which i have.
This involves removing the SD card, pressing a (tiny) reset button for 15 seconds, pressing the on/off switch for 5 seconds, then replacing the SD card. To locate the reset button, try the TOMTOM website/Support

try resetting it, if that doesnt work, connect your unit to tomtom home. if you dont have tomtom home, follow the link at the bottom.

The rest button is on the top of the GPS

Bless your cotton Socks crawdaddydoo !!! pressed reset button on GPS unit, Put it back in cradle, turn it on ... ta dah its working again..... Thank you VERY VERY MUCH...

1. Connect the TomTom to the USB for power (green light should be on).
2. Hit the reset button on the bottom of the device - you should feel it depress slightly.
3. Press firmly and hold the power button and count to 10.
5. Try this a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time.

Even if your battery is ****, the power connection has a pass-through, so you can still use the device as long as its connected to the charger.
