Point # 1 : Electronic devices are not made to be used sparingly or stored for long periods of time.

Point # 2 : 5-6 years is not 'barely' in-terms of an electronic device's lifetime (Given that the warranty for your device is about 1 year !).

Point # 3 : You obviously tried almost everything on the computer site of this issue, Its time to take your device to a service center.

I had the same problem here in New Zealand. Navman would be recognized using USB.

I tried it with Windows Vista and Windows XP. In the end, I connected to windows 7, it was immediately recognized. I had the option to apply a few upgrades which I did.

After the upgrade, it now also works for windows vista and windows XP

XP is a dead OS.
100% dead. and not supported now. by MS or HP.
but XP needs SP3, or USB will be bad
XP always had bad USB for years until , all patches were done.
The USB on XP are horrible.
you need good USB so all devices are PnP recognized
and negotiated currents (power) is working
and USB2 currents are weaker than USB 3.
and is key to making any motor driven HDD work right.!!

Dead as a door nail and no more security patches ever again.

Im having the same problem... any fixes?

The TomTom tries to connect to a specific drive that might be taken by another app (i.e. DVDFab Virtual Drive, or others drive virtualisers, or perhaps the drive is mapped to something else), with that in mind, here is the solution:
1) Connect your TomTom and wait until it connects to your PC;
2) In Windows go to 'Start';
3) Right-click 'Computer';
4) Select 'Manage', to open the 'Computer Management';
5) Expand 'Device Manager';
6) On the right-side screen expand 'Portable Devices', check for yellow-triangles with Exclamation mark inside;
7) Take note of the drive letter;
8) On the left-side, expand 'Storage';
9) Click on 'Disk Management';
10) Now, on the right-side, scroll-down and look for the drive letter you noted before in Step '7', where you see Disk 0,..., Disk 1, ..., Disk 2, and so on;
11) You'll probably see that drive letter assigned as the one TomTom is trying to use, so right click it and choose 'Change Drive Letter and Paths...';
12) when the window pops up, click the Letter and then the button 'Remove';
13) Press 'OK' to close the window;
14) Unplug your TomTom and Reconnect it.........
Windows should now recognize your device.

Hope it helps! ...PaPpArAzZi

Have you tried changing the USB cable or connecting it to a different USB port on the computer?
