The Car chargers are generally the defective unit.
I have also faced a similar issue as the spring loaded cigarette lighter was pushing the charger causing it to disconnect.

    If you mean the charge cable does not work in your vehicle and works in another car, then the problem is in your outlets circuit in your car, either a fuse has blown or a bad wire/plug or the outlet id defective.

Explain how to charge my tomtom.onexl to my computer

Just plug the usb lead into the sat-nav, and the other end into a USB port on your pc and it should start charging, around 4 hours is enough to fully charge it, but don't worry you cant over charge it as the software inside controls that kind of thing, OK.

Tomtom300 gps mains charging +

1= My battery is flat, but when i put it on charge in the house it doesnt charge and no green light comes on, on my sat nav why would this be?

Could be your house charger is bad or the power connector on the back of the Tomtom is bad.

2= But when i put it in car charge it works perfect 'Y'?

You are using the "power shoe" to charge the battery. For a test unplug the power cord from the power shoe and hook it to the back of the Tomtom. If this work then the house charger is bad. If this doesn't work then the Tomtom rear power connector is bad

3= If ever i have to change battery how is this done?

You will have to remove the faceplate and disassemble the Tomtom in order to get to the battery. Or you can find a shop that repairs small electronic. Find the battery on Ebay.
