Hello, I have a problem with my TOM TOM ONE GPS, it won't turn on anymore.
In fact, I plugged it into the power supply to charge it and now, nothing happens, just the small green light on top. Could someone help me? Thanks

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

I had the same problem. I resolved it by charging it, then inserting a paperclip into the small hole underneath (RESET) and removing and reinserting the SD card!   -- Jeff - Wm@Ccm -

Hello, have you thought about updating your map!!! See you!

pat · Answer

same problem I will try customer service

tribun · Answer

Good evening

it is at the battery level that there might be a problem,
it may be defective, and it may not charge.
or very little.
hence the failure to turn on!!
because a TomTom, if the battery is flat, takes a certain amount of charging time
to get back up and running.

Hi,

my issue is the night mode that doesn't work. When I select the (night colors) button, my TomTom One XL switches to night mode for 1 second and then returns to day mode. What should I do?
Thank you all,

caro · Answer

Hi, I also have the same problem since yesterday.
I charged it as usual and it got stuck on the startup photo, I couldn't turn it off, it stayed like that for a good part of the night and today there's no way to restart it.

keryann · Answer

Il n'est pas obligatoirement nécessaire d'avoir une carte pour faire fonctionner le TomTom, mais sans carte, vous serez limité aux fonctionnalités de base de l'appareil. Pour télécharger les emplacements des radars gratuitement, il est généralement nécessaire d'avoir une carte installée sur votre appareil. Vous pourriez également avoir besoin de vous connecter à un ordinateur pour transférer des fichiers, ce qui est souvent fait via le logiciel TomTom Home. Si vous n’avez pas de carte, il se pourrait que certaines fonctionnalités, dont la mise à jour des emplacements, soient restreintes.

Hello; I have a problem; if my TomTom is completely discharged, I cannot turn it on, I have to reset it and I lose my updates at startup, does anyone have a similar issue? Thank you

matyak · Answer

Hello  The TomTom needs a memory card that contains the mapping (France or Europe, for example). It is delivered with the device, in the box (with the suction cup mount, the CD, the identification card, etc.). Some pieces may indeed get lost by falling off the truck...  These freezes happen sometimes, but rare are the situations that require going to customer service. Before that, we can (in no particular order):  - charge the TomTom (in the car in the absence of a power supply) - perform a "hard" reset with a paperclip in the appropriate hole - do a software upgrade via TomTom Home (installed on the PC from the CD supplied with the device or downloaded from the TomTom website). The procedure offers a backup before the update, which must be done. If the PC has an SD card reader, the operation is faster by inserting the TomTom's SD card (the USB connection is slower).  Otherwise, apart from the recurring issue (common to all brands) of map updates as roadwork progresses, it is a very good product.  Happy navigation

tribun · Answer

Hello asterix22

check link 6,
if your TomTom is completely drained, dead battery = loss of data like updates

it takes about 2 hours to charge a Nokia-type battery,

with the charger supplied with the device, it's clearly stated in the manual
there is a model number of the charger, the power supply must be compatible with the device

and I repeat, the virus problem is still present
characteristic in the GPS startup

honey · Answer

Hello, to have faced the same problem,
I did the following,
I left my TomTom on for about 10 minutes and it started by itself, you have to be patient, especially after an update.
The second time, while checking the SD card, I noticed there were .chk files, I defragmented the card and it restarted by itself.
Have a nice day!

Hello,
I have a problem with my One One GPS France + Europe. I charged it on my PC for over 4 hours, and it turned off 10 minutes later.
The brightness is very pale. Please help me, I got it a week ago. Thank you.

yves · Answer

Je suis désolé, je ne peux pas vous aider avec ça.

domi · Answer

I don't understand, for the computer you need a cable to connect it for updates, and when you drive you plug it into the cigarette lighter, the battery alone only lasts 2 hours, maybe I didn't understand your question well. Domi, see you later!

honey30 · Answer

Hello, I'm having a hard time grasping everything. I use my TomTom 300 both in the car and on the motorcycle, and on the motorcycle, the battery lasts 6 hours without a recharge. As for updates, I've had startup issues; I even reformatted the SD card, but I had the foresight to back it up a little earlier. When I restored everything, I left it on, and it took almost an hour to start up. I didn't pay attention to it, and it eventually started on its own.

david · Answer

Hello my TomTom One V3 is not functioning properly. When it starts up, there is sound, but the image does not display; I can also manipulate the screen without seeing where I’m pressing (or with TT HOME), as the device responds and indicates direction, but the screen remains white. Resetting, updating, and support advice from TomTom have not changed anything. Thank you for helping me find a solution, sincerely David

Hello,
I have a problem with my TOMTOM ONE FRANCE.
When I press the top button to turn it on, it turns on normally (you can see the TOMTOM logo appear in large with the two red hands; and the sound that goes with it can be heard!!!!!)
Then it loads my SD card, normal!!!
After that, the screen returns with the TOMTOM logo and the two red hands.
Then it turns off!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can repeat this process endlessly, it will always do the same thing!!!!!!

I recharged my TOMTOM for 6 hours on my PC and it's still the same thing!!!!!!!

Despair!!!! Help me please!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Cocoddy,  To be honest, I don't know much about it and I don't know how to update my SD card, so I haven't done anything about it. However, I haven't backed up my SD card!!! Is it serious????  Thank you for replying,,,,

Didi76 · Answer

Hello,  I went to the Tomtom website.  Can I erase all the data on my SD card and re-download the map of France on it (it's €40) but I think the mishap is probably my fault, I don't know for sure.  What do you think?  Do you have another solution to recover my data on my SD card so that my Tomtom works again, it’s only 6 months old!!!!!!!  Thank you in advance!!!!!!

Hello everyone, I was given a TomTom One V2 for Christmas, but without the manual, so here is my question: I only have the green light on my TomTom when it is plugged in, either via USB or the charger. Is this normal? Because I can't turn it on during a hike. Thank you for your response.

gaylor · Answer

I'm having a problem, I can no longer charge the battery of my TomTom One. What can I do?

124 · Answer

Il semble que vous ayez un souci avec votre TomTom One. Quand vous le connectez à votre PC et qu'une petite lumière verte s'allume en haut, cela indique généralement qu'il est sous tension. Cependant, si vous ne voyez aucun autre témoin ou si l'appareil ne semble pas se charger, cela pourrait être un problème.

Je vous recommande d'essayer les étapes suivantes :  
1. Vérifiez que le câble USB est correctement connecté à la fois au TomTom et au PC.  
2. Testez avec un autre port USB ou un autre câble, si possible.  
3. Assurez-vous que le PC est allumé et capable de fournir de l'énergie via USB.  
4. Laissez-le branché pendant un certain temps pour voir si la lumière ou l'appareil change de comportement.

Si après ces vérifications votre TomTom ne charge toujours pas, il pourrait y avoir un souci avec la batterie ou l'appareil lui-même. Dans ce cas, il serait préférable de contacter le support technique de TomTom.

Didi76 · Answer

Dear 124,Connect your TomTom to your computer, a green light should turn on at the topThen turn on your TomTom,Insert your SD card, it should normally ask you to wait while it loads your dataThen, a drawing should normally appear on your TomTom with your TomTom connected with the cable, and if all this is visibleit is in the process of chargingThere you go, however it takes a long time to charge, about 4 hours connected!!!!!!Bye

gwadasaki · Answer

For those who can't find the solution, I had this problem not long ago. Indeed, if the GPS is completely discharged, it won't turn on. I think that the vibrations while driving affect the connection between the GPS and the car mount. (I deduce that it's mainly the GPS connection that is defective because I have the same issue when connecting the power via the computer connection mount) The green LED is not a guarantee that charging is occurring, it just shows that a power source is properly connected. To be sure the GPS is charging, you need to see the charging status bar with "charging" written below, which is only visible when the GPS is turned on (for example, perform a route search without pressing "finish", this displays all the status bars; make sure to select the charging status bar in "status bar preferences" if the charging bar isn't there). I've had to wedge a support between the mount and the GPS to ensure a proper connection between the two. Now it works. Always keep an eye out to see if "charging" is still displayed (unless the charging is maxed out with the entire battery green); otherwise, readjust your shim until the message appears. There you go, thank you all for your input; I'm not a regular on this forum, but I've gathered quite a few tips here. I hope I've been able to help at least one of you. Take care! P.S.: I also don't think it's advisable to leave the GPS charging longer than necessary, and as already advised, do not start and stop your vehicle while the power is connected.

marin · Answer

same problem, it's a battery issue, it needs to be charged for a long time... Today I have to reset the tomtom every time I use it, and charge it all night. I'm fed up, buying another GPS (different brand). sick of tomtom!!

You need to press reset under the TomTom, look for B1.

Hello,  I have a TomTom One Europe 22. I installed TomTom Home to update it, thinking I was doing the right thing, but now nothing works. A white cross in a red circle appears and nothing happens. I didn't make a backup, (of course) and I can't recover the application. What can I do to fix my carelessness, especially since the TomTom was a gift? Thank you in advance.

Anonymous user · Answer

A troubleshooting site here

For backup, it's there

To disconnect the GPS, it must not be working anymore; otherwise, there is a risk for the application. With Tomtom Home, it's Device and disconnect the device

Have a nice day

mich · Answer

I also have a TomTom, it's 5 months old, it's a TomTom One Europe V3 and it's still under warranty. I bought it at the Leclerc center in Lumbres, in Pas-de-Calais. I brought it back to have it repaired, and they told me it was my fault for needing the repair, bravo for the after-sales service. So I have a TomTom that cost me 159 euros and is useless. To me, they are thieves, good for nothing else but selling.

fred41 · Answer

Hold down the power button for several seconds and it should be okay for the restart.

nono · Answer

I have the same problem; I submitted it at Darty where I purchased it, and they didn't even open it. They ask me for €10 and tell me that TomTom does not repair it and offer me a new GPS with a 20% discount. If it's a battery issue, can I be provided with a distributor to change it myself? Thank you in advance.

Hello! I've been having the same problem since this morning.. Not having used it for a few weeks; I thought it was a lack of charge... I charged it in my car all morning... Nothing! The green light is on, but that's it. Not great!!!! :-(

josiane · Answer

I need to thank the person who suggested putting a paperclip in the small hole located at the back of the TomTom and then putting the card back in; everything is working again, Mrs. Morel.

dado · Answer

My TomTom has lost volume, please help me thank you.

fred · Answer

Here is the translation:

"Well, I had the same problem, so I took the risk of opening it. Four torx screws later, I identified the polarity + - and I took a 9-volt battery and connected it. My TomTom started after that, so I ordered a battery from Subtel online. For 17 euros, my TomTom is back up and running. The existing battery is really well glued, but it's doable. Good luck."

fay750 · Answer

For the GPS that won't turn on after trying the reset, the solution is a hairdryer. You need to dry it for 3 to 5 minutes and then turn it back on.

ricardo · Answer

Are you experiencing problems? In rare cases, your XL may not start correctly or may not respond to your touch. First, check that the battery is properly charged. To ensure your battery is fully charged, you need to charge it for at least two hours. If that doesn't work, you can reset your device. To do this, press and hold the power button for fifteen seconds. Release the power button when the device restarts.   Good luck!!!!

Same issue, can't turn on my "Tomtom One" I've done "resets" for 25 seconds, still nothing... Tomtom plugged into its charger; I removed the SD card. And oh surprise... It turned back on asking to reinsert the SD card...
