Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.
Your battery is faulty, probably caused by the non tomtom charger.
Ring tomtom on 08451610009 as the unit is 6 months old and they will repair it free of charge. DON'T tell them about the other charger.
White lined screen is a battery problem
From your description I would expect that the LCD panel has shorted or gone open. Either way the panel needs to be replaced. Depending on the age of the laptop you may be better off getting another laptop, new or used, and just swapping out the hard drive to your drive. If you decide o do this be sure that the laptop you buy is compatible to your old drive.
Turned the Tv seton had only half a screen tried to used the remote to reset the set to is regular settings it reset but the picture was offset to the right of the right of the screen I the brought up the menu in hopes of using the vertical or horizontal to bring it back full screen and the remote stop functioning for the tv and i put new batteries in it thinking matbe the remote was down but to no avail it still didnot work I had to unplug thr tv for about an hour and plug it back up for the remte to work and still had only a half of sreen and now i have sound and no picture just a green screen
First , try a re-set through the 'reset' hole underneath the tomtom. 1 quick short press is all thats required. Unlike others suggest , you do not need to hold it in for anything longer than half a second. You should feel the switch 'click' as its a tactile switch. Don't press too hard as you can damage the switch and cause it to lock ON. Once pressed , try turning the tomtom on as normal. Sometimes a tomtom battery can drop below its normal "shelf" voltage ( normal is about 3.8 volts ). A tomtom charger has a protection circuit inside to stop or slow the current it gives out if there is a short. If your battery HAS dropped volts TOO MUCH ( less than 3 volts ) the charger can "see" the tomtom battery as a "short" and the charger therefore shuts down and doesnt charge the battery. You could leave the charger connected and HOPE that the very small amount of current it's putting out will eventualy bring the battery up over 3 volts. Once it is up near its "shelf" voltage ( called shelf voltage as that is the voltage the battery is at 'on the shelf' ie . when its not powering anything ) the charger will begin to charge as normal....... OR ... you can gain access to the battery and charge it from a bench power supply that has voltage and current meters. Once again , once the battery voltage gets something near 3.8 volts the normal tomtom charger can be used to charge it. You caould connect another normal battery to the tomtom battery just for a few seconds ( not recommended and can be a bit dangerous ) if the normal battery is such as a PP3 9v type it should bring up the tomtom battery to over 3.8 volts in a few seconds. The tomtom can then be charged as normal. .............. It is also possible that some internal IC's ( chips ) have blown inside the tomtom and unfortunatly this would require a specialist repair centre to replace them as they are really very very small and are not a normal soldering job. Good luck. ... if this post has helped you or interested you please rate the author.
