Try resetting it, but first put it on the charger for a few hours to make sure its charged. using a paper clip or something similar, depress and hold the reset button located on the bottom of the unit for 15 seconds, then hold the power button for up to 5 seconds till the unit starts.

if that fails, hook your tomtom to your computer and run tomtom home and see if that will update or repair it.

My TomTom One V3 won't switch on. The green light shows it as charging but it won't power up. Tried reset as discussed with TomTom

If reset not worked, then must open up, take out battery and then reset, then you must hook up USB and upgrade software, also maybe need to get new battery too, often battery seems OK, but not,.

Tomtom not turning on

It sounds like the dreaded green light of death. The TomTom car chargers for this model and older had a inherit problem with sending more than the requaired amount of power to the TomTom 3rd edition and older models. When the extra power is supplied a diode in the TomTom burns out, but the green power light will come on.

Tomtom1version3 power on light on but will not switch on. Same problem using mains charger or in car power supply.Also computer is not picking the unit up as an external device

I'm afraid you have the green light of death. This happens when the car charger delivers more power than the TomTom can handle and it blows a couple of diodes.

Tom Tom won't charge

double check the connection. I had this with a one xl and it turned out to be a small bit of debris that had gotten into the car charger and stuck there so that even the home charger would not help.

I used a compressed air can for computers to blow it out..
also get a magnifying glass and check the connector strips inside the connector.

If you see damage it will probably have to got in for repair

the plug end(cigarette lighter end) may have an internal fuse. the very tip screw off and inside is a small glass tube style fuse. check that.

Tom tom will not switch on

try charging the tom tom fully and then reset while it is charging. a tom tom will not reset unless the new battery is fully charged which may take some time if you only have a car charger.


please give me a fixya! rating if this helped.

TomTom will not charge with car charger

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.

charge it for 3 to 4 hours on both the usb cable and the CLA car charger....make sure that the green light is in...if not...it is the charger...if the green light is on, and still not turning on..then the battery is shot.....needs to be sent in for repair..providing it is under the 1 year warranty
