20 Most Recent Tomtom GO 910 GPS Receiver - Page 6 Questions & Answers

Put the receiver in the charging cradle. Does the green charging light appear? If it does not, you might just have a defective cradle and hence a completely flat battery; try charging with the car charger and retry. If it doesn't charge with either charger, the power section of the TomTom is obviously gone.

Assuming you now have a charged TomTom, keep the power button pressed for five seconds. If it does not turn on, try resetting it by inserting a paper clip in the RESET hole hidden below the front cover.

If it still does not turn on, it's either a defective power button or a faulty mainboard, and I'm afraid you can't easily fix either; you'll have to send it to maintenance.

Let me know how it goes...

you can find the answer in www.meowtechnologies.com

The unit had not been used for some time, I simply charged it up and left it on a window cill where it could find a satellite signal and the flickering stopped.

Assuming the maps have been registered for your device.........try resetting the device.
If the maps are not registered, it may eventually boot up, but you'll get a message saying that the maps are not authorised for this device.

This usually means that the unit has become faulty, look in your manual as to how to perform a "Reset" this may,sort the problem. Also check the unit is in clear view of the sky/satellite, as this unit cannot, or thinks it cannot "See" the "Birds" as they are called.

hi you need to reset the unit at the back near the connection there is a small button that needs to be held down when holding the power button on for a few seconds. once you have done this turn it on and it will work fine

touch the lower left corner "arrow".
a voume adjust slide bar will appear.

hi, for a reset you dont have to open the case. go tomtom.com, select support, search reset, and read all possibilities. i suggest to go first for a soft reset. good luck.

you'll need a usb cable and TomTom home installed on your pc...after that nice and easy

try this it worked for me , hold down the reset button on the bottom of the tom tom down for 15 seconds then when done hold down the power button for 5 seconds , the tom tom will reboot from bios , as i said it worked for me good luck

Usually it is four Zero's 0000

Sounds like the battery is dead, have you tried first reseting the device and than charging it?

To reset the device, put the tip of a paper clip into the "Reset" hole in the GPS case. Recharge the unit over night and try to turn it on.

Don't throw it away, what you need to do is go to the Tom Tom side and reload the software as it is corrupt, the X seems to be a common problem with some models

Let's hope there's nothing wrong with your TomTom. Here's some information that may assist you with your Go 530.

Your TomTom GO must be outside to locate your current position. The first time you start your GO, it can take up to 5 minutes to find your current position.

If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around you.

In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few seconds.

Once your GO has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in full color and shows your position on the map.

Finding your position faster:

To find your position faster, use the home dock in combination with TomTom HOME on your computer. When connected to the Internet, TomTom HOME
automatically downloads information which helps your GO locate your position faster.

click here to download TomTom Home.

Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield that may prevent TomTom GO from locating your current position. If this is a problem in your vehicle, use the TomTom External
Antenna Kit (available as an accessory).

If you found this information helpful, please give me a big thumbs up when you rate my answer. Thanks.

Ok here go's, I am not sure what screen you have as your home screen, but most people would select the map screen, so assuming you have the map screen on startup Tap the screen to enter the main menu, then on the bottom line of icons you should see a cog icon, this is change preferences click it, now continue to click on the arrow until you arrive at the change languages icon which is expressed by 3 flags
click it and select your language then click yes or ok and exit, if this works keep this safe. Good luck.
