I had omitted to write in the n for north.
thanks for your quick response.

Yes there is an internal 'round' Li-Ion rechargeable battery (3.7V rated around 2300mA) inside your GPS.

If your unit cannot be turn-on out of the cradle, after it has been charging for some times, then it may have reached its useful life and will need replacing.

Hope it helps. Let me know how you go.

you can get the TomTom Clear Flash tool Here


just follow the instructions on the download page. tomtom home must be closed when running the flash tool. i have my tomtom home set to boot up when ever i plug in a tomtom device, well tomtom home started while i was trying to flash my tomtom and i didnt notice it started. needless to say, it screwed the whole shooting match up.

start tomtom home if it does not start automaticlly when you turn on your tomtom and connect it to your computer..if you dont have tomtom home, you can get it HERE.

if its still not connecting try another usb cable although im not sure in that one disconnects from the home dock on the 910

( i assume your using the home dock because thats the only way a 910 will hook up to a computer)

I have taken it to a local repair shop. Thanks Phil

tap the satellite tab on the main screen (where the satellite bars are) then tap the right hand side where the satellite bars are on that next screen..

thats where mine is located, but it might be different on yours if you moved the location of the satellite bar on the main map page (there is a couple of different options to choose from in the options tab, as to where to locate the satellite bar)

Hello,

could you please put your question in English?

I would be glad to help you out once this is done.

I look forward to reply.

Best regards.

Try pressing the reset button under the base of the TT. Then plug it in to the PC and you should beable to clear the memory from the on screen application.

Ok here go's, I am not sure what screen you have as your home screen, but most people would select the map screen, so assuming you have the map screen on startup Tap the screen to enter the main menu, then on the bottom line of icons you should see a cog icon, this is change preferences click it, now continue to click on the arrow until you arrive at the change languages icon which is expressed by 3 flags
click it and select your language then click yes or ok and exit, if this works keep this safe. Good luck.

U are 100% sure this battery is ok? if the GPS is around two years old then the battery is suspect, remember just because u charged the battery that doesn't mean it is any good, if if the charger is hooked up a defective battery will still keep the GPS from turning on, if u are sure it has a good battery then the only way to get it fixed is to send it back to Tomtom, they can provide an exchange unit that is already repaired to cut down turn around time

This is set up in POI and favorites area of your GPS
Updates to these files can be obtained from www poifriend com You have to manually add them to your SD card so identify the files on the website and then search for the same extensions in your SD card.

go to tomtom.com, go to support, search for reset, select your device do as told. includes fotos of resetbutton and good discription. first make sure battery is full. goodluck.

n rare cases, your TomTom device may not start correctly or may stop responding. If this happens, try resetting your device. The only information lost on your device is the clock’s time zone setting. Select your device from the list below to see how to reset it.

Type the first two characters of your device's serial number below to find out.



To reset your TomTom device, do the following:

1. Check that the battery is charged properly.
   Charge your device for at least 2 hours before trying to turn it on again. Make sure the charging light on your device is on.
   
   
2. Remove the SD card
   If your device uses an SD card, remove it.
   
   
3. Reset your device.
   Use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to push the reset button for 15 seconds. See the pictures below for where to find the reset button.
   
   
4. Turn your device on.
   Press the On/off button for at least 5 seconds.
   
   
5. Insert the SD card
   If your device uses an SD card, insert the SD card.
   

The rest button is on the top of the GPS

You can get free shared updates from the users when you install the Tom Tom Home Software, but to update the map with the TomTom approved information, you will have to pay, unfortunately. So far, the people-uploaded maps have helped me immensely, though.

Letting the battery run down will not fix it, so recharge it. I suspect your maps have become corrupted or at worst deleted. Reinstall your maps from the CD or by contacting TOMTOM and quoting your licence number for a download.
Leaving GPS in car subject to extreme heat will danage the card and often the maps. Gloveboxes are not exempt either as they often reach over 50C when car is left in the sun. ( assuming it is summer wherever you are)

hi dave_hanc93

you say its not holding a charge, but is it charging?

plug the charger in and make sure the light is on on the charger, then on the map screen, tap the screen where the satellites are. on that screen on the top right is the charge indicator. is it green and moving from left to right? if not, then its not charging.

try hooking it up to the home dock to your computer and check and see if its charging on the home dock.

let me know how you make out.
