Before you reset your 910, first make sure your battery is (well) charged and if you are using an SD card, it is taken out.

The reset button is actually a tiny hole at the bottom / base of the unit.

Simply use a straightened out paper clip or something similar, insert it into the hole and hold it there for 20 seconds or so, until the device turns off. Then push the ON/OFF button and hold it down for a while ... (5 seconds ... or lots more) until the device powers up again. If you're using an SD card, you can then insert the card (when it is looking for it).

To only way you can fix it is taking apart the Tom Tom, checking if the flat ribbon cable and connector to the screen are well in place and eventually replace the display ($80 on Ebay).
Unfortunately this will invalidate the guaranty, and you risk to damage your GPS if you are not a really experienced DIYer. Tom Tom offer one year full guaranty on all their receivers.

SOURCE: how to reset tom tom 910

the reset hole is hard to find... If you are looking at the back of the unit, it is in the upper right hand side of the liitle plastic protrusion at the top of the semi-circular opening above where you can see the exposed circuit board.

A hard reset is done by pushing a paperclip into the reset hole on the bottom.

Tomtom 730 doesn't switch on!

Hopefully all you need to do is a soft reset. To do this use a streightened paper clip and insert it into the small round hole marked reset on the bottom of your tt. Gently press the reset button in until you feel a click. Hold the reset button in for 20 seconds. Hope this does the job.

Back light of the LCD display is not working

Get a RMA by TomTom by callinging them directly (see on TomToms webpage) I've solved by shipping my unit to Neaderland with UPS at no cost, they replaced the motherboard (not the display, this  just remained the same!) I've received the repaired 910 after 5 days and I've spent no one cent! And I've got also the battery, AC power supply and software replacement! Other problems of the software are still present: the unit won't cange colors by night-light changes (only one time after a reset...), tryes to connect to phantom computers, after a power on it get off and then on if connected on the car support,... The 910 is a crazy device, not stable at all. I think I'll change it with the new model Go930T Ciao (sorry for my bat english)
