TOMTOM WAS WORKING GREAT FOR ABOUT 6 MO. I WENT TO TURN IT ON AND IT WANT TURN ON EVEN AFTER YOU LET IT CHARGE,STILL NOTHING JUST A BLACK SCREEN
SOURCE: is there sonething wrong with my tomtom go 510?
Usually resetting the unit (pressing the reset button) is supposed to fix this
SOURCE: Tomtom fault
Having upgraded my Tom Tom ONE Europe with the latest application download and the latest Europe Maps, the device will not now switch on using battery power. The battery is fine, but the device will only switch on when power is present at the USB port. As I performed the two upgrades one after the other I do not know which introduced the change (poor practice by me I'm afraid!) No solution as yet.
SOURCE: I have had my tomtom one XL for almost one year.
More than likely the generic charger sent more than 5 volts to your tt and burned a few rectifiers. You could try and tell tt the original charger did this but if they say no you are out of luck. You could put it on ebay and get something for it.
SOURCE: TomTom won't turn on
Try holding the power button in for about 15 - 20 seconds to see if it comes on, do this whilst plugged into a computer or your car.
not much to do with that unit, check with a volt meter to verify that power is present at the plug cord charging, if all your efforts fail and the unit is dead your trouble is in the unit itself, this unit is not serviceable by any one other than one with knowledge and equipment to repair this unit, check for warranty if not obtain a new one,,,?Sorry
