1. Activate the TeleType GPS program
2. Select Tools>GPS Status>Status.
3. Look closely at the GPS output that is displayed in the View Status
menu. Data should be flowing even when the GPS receiver has not locked
in the position.
The data string that begins:
GPGSV... is "bad data" because the receiver has not locked
into the satellites.
Whereas:
GPGSA... is "good data" indicating that the receiver has
locked into the satellites. Remember - "A-Okay"
4. Once the data is flowing, go outside away from buildings, select
the Satellites tab (Tools>GPS Status>Satellites), and watch
the satellite signal strength

Theres a tiny hole at the back if you look with a torch where the TomTom connects to the cradle

best place it to get one is by emailing someone whos selling faulty ones on ebay. They will probably have some scrap tomtoms they have to put in the bin and the manuals will be surplus. Ive got many manuals here but its a long way to send them from UK to down-under.

TomTom say that you will need to return the unit to them to unlock it, but there is an independant prog download available that costs £40. How good that is I don't know, so I suggest you mail TomTom Service dept to see what they say. I reckon it is the cheapest alternative.
SOURCE: Hi, Tom Tom 710 has not come on for weeks.
it doesnt get better by itself. Despite having a green light doesnt mean it is charged. try changing the battery
