TomTom 520 problem

[T66ORA]

For some reason my TT wouldn`t turn on today,the screen is just blank! The battery is charged and the charge light lights up, there is a reset button on the back, i`m not sure if this has done anything though
The unit is nearly two years old and i never got round to registering it so not sure if it`s covered under some sort of warranty?
Any ideas?

Stick a pin in the reset hole.

Did you try it?

Snap, I had this exact problem with a 720 a couple of weeks ago. I ended up throwing it away and now have a new Garmin. My unit was about 20 months old and was out of warranty.

Did you stick the pin in the reset hole? (or am I on my own here )

[Catherine197]

Yes, made no difference.

Bad luck! My 700 goes like this about once a month. Perhaps I have a magic pin!!

Sorry Steve i thought you were being sarcastic
Once i had found the reset button i stuck a pin in it, and it now works but won`t pick up any GPS signal
I will leave it in the windscreen of the car over night to see if it will pick up any "stata lights"

Me! S-a-r-c-a-s-t-i-c!!

Now you've found the pin hole, got a picture, doubtless you've tried swtiching it off & on, then coneecting to TomTom home?

I guess the last resort is restoring your last good backup?
