SAT NAV problem


SAT NAV problem

Postby Bearcat on Thu Mar 01, 2012 8:36 pm

After the last update my TOM-TOM Go 750 Live will not switch on normally, only after holding down the on/off button for 15 secs (reset) will the start screen appear, and that's as far as it goes, the touch screen does not respond. Any help appreciated

Can't you revert to a previous update, like you can on a PC?

There is the reset facility within the menu's but if your touch-screen is goosed you may not be able to access it. Resetting usually wipes all updates, favourites etc - as I found out to my irritation.

Ring up TomTom, if it's under 2 years (might be 1 year) and you still have the recipt they will change it. They will want you to try re-loading the software, or they did with mine last year.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Thanks for the help,
Afraid it's over 2 years old ,
After looking on Tom-Tom forum and pocketgpsworld I find this is a common problem since the latest Tom-Tom updates,and there is no solution so far.

Tom-Tom Sat Nav now working, found a fix on a forum, involved removing everything from the device and then updating, the cause was a faulty map update in February. Thanks guys for your help.
