Problem for Tomtom GO 700 GPS Receiver

TomTom Go 700 - The green light is on while charging but the unit will do nothing else. I have tried pressing the reset button on the underside of the unit but this does not fix the fault. When the start button is pressed the green light comes on, but only as long as the button is pressed in, and the unit will still not start up.
Any Ideas ?
Many Thanks

STEP 1

Connect your TomTom to your computer via USB and open up your Windows Explorer and go to the drive. (It will be listed as TOMTOM (E) or some other drive letter).

Copy the Yellow Folders one by one to your PC. Ideally, save all the folders under a new folder that you name.

You may find that the folder ttntools and gns may not be copied. This is o.k. if they aren't.

STEP 2

Format your Tomtom via MY Computer.

STEP 3

Copy the Yellow Folders from the backup you made in STEP 1 back to the TomTom.

STEP 4

Open TomTom Home
Click on Upate Now.
Install the latest update onto your TomTom.
Once installed, switch your TomTom off, then disconnect if from the PC.

Thats it. From now on, make a full backup using TomTom Home prior to any updates.

Also note, that copying all the files will take some time.
