TomTom XL 22 help
Discussion
Hey all,
Is anyone familiar with the Tomtom repair procedures here?
Last October I bought my mum and dad the above (as a christmas present really, but they were going in november) to make European driving easy. It worked brilliantly, they loved it.
It packed up a few months ago - would not turn on dad said. So I had a look at it, played around, charged it for ages, pressed the power button for 15 secs etc. looked at the resolution steps on tomtom.com site, connected it to PC - nothing worked. It remained dead. I admitted defeat. I sent it to Tomtom, and have just got it back. The diagnosis? "No Fault Found". I tried to turn it on, and it presented me with the screens you get when it's brand new and you turn it on for the first time - language selection etc.
I phoned them up, there were no further details on their repair database that what was printed on the paper included with the returned item - "No fault found". The lady I spoke to couldn't offer any advice on how they reset it.
They obviously did something to reset it - does anyone know what?

I'd love you to be right, and me to just be an idiot, as it would solve the problem; but no. I had a good look before sending it off, and there isn't one. At least, not without removing the sticker...? Could it be under there? It doesn't look tampered with.
