Tomtom dead

[alcam]

Parked up for 2 nights . Went to use tomtom when setting off . Totally dead .
Checked lead etc .
Anyone had this problem?
Did post this earlier. Haven't a clue where !

Are you sure its not the charger and the battery is just flat?

The right USB cable should work, it doesn't need to be the TT one.

Which model TomTom? Our 5100 has twice had a faulty USB connector in the cradle.

Likely the internal battery has failed.

Just checked , it's back . Vaguely remember this happened before .
I did swop leads , checked new lead with phone , gave it time to charge etc . In answer to those having the audacity to suggest I'm a dummy .
Not saying you are wrong , just not this time .

Thanks Barry . Just reread my post wondering if it did read as a joke .

When they are really flat they will not work even when plugged in, happened to me as well.

Plug in with mains at home, leave for a few hours and try again.

Had it happen a couple of times and, as Graham said, left it on charge for a few hours, then held the on button in for ages until it started again.

M sure that works but in my case it was left off charge and then ,when switched back on , came back to life immediately
