If it is charging via a USB connection on your computer there is nothing wrong with the TT. It doesn't matter if you are trying to charge via USB, mains, or car charger the connection is the same for all in your TT. I would look elsewhere for the problem. More than likely your car charger is faulty.
Mine does the same, the light comes on on the charger, but not on the TomTom unit itself. There is clearly a loose connection in the cable somewhere as you can twist the flex and make it work, although this is not very reliable.
I just use a USB charger from an old phone instead.
It sounds like your mini usb connector is damaged or one of the components near to it. If you're handy you
can buy a replacement and solder it in. You will need a very fine tip
soldering iron and a magnifying glass. The repair can be quite
challenging as the components are surface mounted. If it's a damaged component near the USB connector that is damaged then this wont solve the problem. I can fix it for you for a small fee if you dont want to attempt repair. I've repaired about 20 tomtom units with similar problems. I charge around £35 for this including return postage
I think the charger is the problem. I ordered one of these and then it wasn't charging the day I got it....it's supposed to go from red, to orange to green as it charges, but the red LED just goes off after a while, before the headset is fully charged. I solved this by charging it through a USB-to-miniUSB cable on my laptop USB port. This worked beautifully....unfortunately I think the H700 chargers are faulty.
This may seem like a dumb question, but have you tested the lighter socket to see if it's working? If the TomTom is plugged in, you shouldn't get a low battery warning.
