My tomtom won't turn on when I've charged it for several hours in the car and now at my computer. The green light is on but I still can't get it to turn on.

You cannot charge this in your car only on the main eletric home 220v or 120v.
Then press the reset button underneath. And active with the Computer again.

Tom tom is not mad to recharge on 12v.

If you have a tom tom from the GO models
they hace a reset button you can press with a pin were the mount fits.
When you plug in the charger the green light should come on to say it is chargeing.
Try the car adapter to charge the tom tom

It won't turn on

Have you tried charging it for a couple of hours? If you did not use the tomtom for quite some time, the internal battery will discharge. Try charging it for a couple of hours by using a wall-charger or use the usb to pc cable.
Does the green light turn on (indicating its charging)?
If this all doesn't help, you should contact tomtom service center. A local number can be found here: http://support.tomtom.com/
Take care!

Green light on but will not switch on

plug in your xl via the usb cable to your computer and let it charge a few hours, then press and hold the power button for up to 15 seconds.

do not use the car or home charger to intially charge your xl. they are to maintain the battery, not a rapid charge.

let me know if you need further help.

TomTom One shows a green charging light but when the button is pressed it fails to turn on

try the hard reset first (hold the reset for about 15 seconds..its the little pin hole on the bottom) if that fails, plug it in to your computer for a few hours via the usb cable, then try again. if that fails, download tomtom home if you haven't already and connect to tomtom home

My tomtom one 3rd edition GPS will not turn on

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

Seeking the repair of my tomtom Go 910

One suggestion is to plug the Tom Tom using the temporary power cord to you home circuit (not the power source from the car). That worked for me. Sometime the Tom Tom shuts down when left in the hot car requiring a reset. Then the best way is to plug in at home and restart. Try it, otherwise I can't help.
