Tomtom 700 turns on but then turns it self off again after seeing hand logo
STEP 1
Connect your TomTom to your computer via USB and open up your Windows Explorer and go to the drive. (It will be listed as TOMTOM (E) or some other drive letter).
Copy the Yellow Folders one by one to your PC. Ideally, save all the folders under a new folder that you name.
You may find that the folder ttntools and gns may not be copied. This is o.k. if they aren't.
STEP 2
Format your Tomtom via MY Computer.
STEP 3
Copy the Yellow Folders from the backup you made in STEP 1 back to the TomTom.
STEP 4
Open TomTom Home
Click on Upate Now.
Install the latest update onto your TomTom.
Once installed, switch your TomTom off, then disconnect if from the PC.
Thats it. From now on, make a full backup using TomTom Home prior to any updates.
Also note, that copying all the files will take some time.

My Tom Tom Go 520 turns on briefly but won't start properly before turning itself off.
I see the hands logo, then a line building along the bottom of the screen plus a computer screen and icon which looks like a hard drive or similar, then I get a static image with Tom Tom logo for several seconds before the Tom Tom shuts down.
When connected to my computer via the dock the Tom Tom will remain active, but I cannot use the Tom Tom home software to operate it as I have no internet connection currently so it returns an error. I've tried resetting the Tom Tom using a pen to press the reset button on the bottom but that hasn't worked.
