Hi my tomtom 920 keeps shutting down .when programing it has been set not to shut down and allways does it just when you want it most. can you help. regards roger.

It has to be one of two things: bad battery or your charging circuit does not work correctly to charge the battery. We see this all the time. www.nabilselectronics.com

My tomtom 920 simply won't turn on, I used it yesterday and it was fine, though it did warn me that the battery is very low. I have charged it for 1hr but it still won't come on. What could be the problem...

The batery is finished, even if you plug it in the cigar lighter and the green light goes on, your TOMTOM will still not work when the batery is dead..get one real cheap on ebay.
Good luck

Does a 920-T have an automatic shutdown mode which

TomToms do not turn off the charging, regardless of whether they are ON or OFF. It should ALWAYS be charging. When you place the GPS on the dock, it should have a small green LED lighting up on the lower right. That's the indication that it is charging.
Please, verify and report back in case you need further help

Are you INDOORS? GPS do not work indoors. You need to be OUTSIDE.

Also, install TomTom Home in your computer and plug your tomtom to your computer via a USB cable. Update your TomTom and try again

My TomTom 920 turns on in my car but when connected to the car charger the charging light does not come on and the device displays a bottle symbol and turns off

It sounds like the Car adapter is bad, try charging through the USB port on your computer to see if the unit charges. If it does you will need a new car charger - try ebay.

Good Luck

My tomtom 920 keeps shuting down every 2min.gives me 10sec to yes or no .

If the battery is flat or dead it will never go on until you either charge the battery or change it. Batteries have a life of 2-3 years if used correctly.
That is charged using an AC source and definitely not starting the engine while the unit is plugged in.

1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

2. Try with different battery to determine whether the issue is with the battery or with the GPS device.

Hope this will help you.

Good Luck!!!!!!!

Tomtom Go 920 failure

The power light only shows that power is getting to the TomTom. It proves nothing else and doesn't even confirm that the internal battery is charging. If you have tried a reset ( by inserting a paper clip into the reset hole at base of your TomTom and that hasn't worked then it's likely you have blown internal components . Usually caused by faulty charger. I hope the reset works ... good luck

TomTom 920 GPS Antenna is not working (the black/orange indicator does not rotate)

After two attempts and no real solution do you think it is wise to go for a third time around? You should be insisting an an exchange since you have paid twice for a repair and they did not fix it! Get real!

According to Tom-Tom, the 920 will not charge, or charges only minimally (ie: barely keeping up with usage), if you have it on and have it plugged into a car power socket. If your car is like mine and turns off the power socket whenevcer you turn off the ignition, then the Tom-Tom never gets charged. The battery also apparently drains itself in about three weeks if not charged. Tom-Tom says the solution is to charge your Tom-Tom (with it OFF) on the quick charger base at least once per week.

This limitation is not mentioned in the Tom-Tom manual.
