Usually an X on the screen indicates that your GPS (navigation) software is no good (corrupted, etc.)
You can try to connect your GPS to your computer and see if you can download and install the GPS navigation software again. Then, download and install the map as well.

You'll want to try to recover the software from your backup (that you have made on your computer).
If you also have the TomTom navigation software on the main memory, try removing the SD card and start the GPS up again. If that works, you'll want to restore/re-install the copy of the navigation software on your SD card.
Otherwise, you'll need to connect your device to the HOME (or MyDrive Connect) software (on your computer/laptop) to see if you can re-install the software.
Recently, TomTom has decided to limit/stop support (including software/maps, etc.) for certain (older) models of TomTom GPS. If your model is one of those, you're out of luck. TomTom is trying to have you buy a new model.

If it doesn't continue to show the license and owner screen, it means that the TomTom (navigation) software is not running properly. Often it means that the software is corrupt, and it has to be repaired or replaced.
If you are able to connect the TomTom device to a computer (using the USB port), select the TomTom disk, right click and select Properties, and run the TOOLs to check and repair the (TomTom) disk. After completing the repair, disconnect it (from the computer), restart the TomTom - turn it off and turn it back on, and see if you get it going normally. If not, you'll need to restore your navigation software from your backup and see if it works. Or you can download the navigation software from the TomTom website and copy it onto your GPS device.
If your GPS battery is fully charged, and the GPS device doesn't go past your blue / start-up screen to get to a driving screen, there's a possibility your navigation software may be corrupted; i.e. it hangs.
I'm assuming it stays there, at the start up screen, for a very long time ...
Have you tried to do a "reboot" ... by holding down the ON/OFF button for a (long) while (until the system shuts down and starts up again) and then let it go ? Or have you tried to do a "hard reboot" by depressing the reset (hole) ?
If the navigation software is corrupted, you can (try to) restore it from your backup or download a copy (using HOME) from TomTom ... or get a good copy (from TomTom, a friend, etc.) to replace the navigation software. If you need further instructions/directions, let me know how I can reach you by email

If your navigation device shows only the start-up image or you see a
flashing cross after you switch it on, it means that the TomTom
application is not installed or cannot be found.
Usually an X on the screen indicates that your GPS (navigation) software is no good (corrupted, etc.).
If TomTom support is not able / willing to help you to download and install the navigation software, you're likely out of luck. If you are able to re-install the navigation software (& map) and you are still getting the X on the screen (of your TomTom device), it may mean that the (storage) memory on the TomTom device is faulty. You can try to connect your GPS to your computer and see if you can "repair" the TomTom (storage) memory (disk). That would usually just block off the bad areas, so that it will not be used. Then try downloading and installing the software and the map again.
