Good day sir/madam There are most likely 2 sources of such problems, the battery or the charger. Test the battery on another device, but before you turn it on, charge it for about 2 hours on the device before powering on, if it turns on, then the battery is okay, but if it does not turn on the other device,then you have to replace the battery.
Test the charger on another device to see if it will charge it, if it charges, then the charger is okay, but if it does not, then the charger is bad and the solution is for you to replace it with a new one.
Other components to test is the charging port, to test the charging port, try a well tested charger and battery on the nuvi, if it does not seem to charge, then the charging port is bad and need to be replaced.
By the time you carry out these activities, you would have been able to detect the exact problem and solve it at the same time.
Hope this helps.

Tom tom will not switch on when i try to charge it the led light does not come on i have hardly used my tom tom

What is your charging method? In car or house hold plug? Suggest that charger is not working (Green) if light on Tom Tom (at bottom near charger lead) is not lighting. Check your charger and see if you have an indicator light on it showing it is on. If yes, plug in Tom, then press and hold the "on" button for 15 seconds constinuously. Tom Tom should reboot.

My tom tom will not come on. i was driving when my tom tom lost power.and will not come back on.

hi rlorton69

hook it up to your computer for a few hours via the usb cable...then try it again. your tomtom car charger is only a trickle charger, its meant to keep a charge on your tomtom, and wont charge it when its dead.

if it fails to start after you charge it via the usb cable, just post back with your specific model and ill help you further

My tom tom wont turn on where is the reset bitton

look for a small hole on the outside case near the sd card reader. might need a paperclip or pin to poke the microswitch inside the hole. simply clicking the switch doesn't work, try holding it for 5 seconds then try to power up. Common problem with GPS devices, (my mio included) is after being plugged in for a long time, the battery life becomes nil and it relies upon the charger. Check tom to xl for further problem solving. google search TOM TOM XL won't power up.

leave on charge for two hours, then with the SD card out hold down the reset button at the back of unit for ten seconds and then the 'on' switch for ten seconds.

Tom tom will not switch on

try charging the tom tom fully and then reset while it is charging. a tom tom will not reset unless the new battery is fully charged which may take some time if you only have a car charger.

please give me a fixya! rating if this helped.
