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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

tap the map screen to get in the main menu, then tap change preferences, then safety preferances, then select disable safety lock.

Have you tried the RESET button?

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.

i had this same exact issue, i tried restoring and got a copying error, uninstalled every third party thing i ever installed, and i reset the device many times. alternatley i thought to manually reformat and reinstall the software but i dont have rights permission apparently. i no longer have the flashing "X" i have what looks to be a harddisk in the bottom left corner flashing?

If you updated the operating system, and you are having this problem then something went wrong with the update. Hope you made a backup before you updated. If you did not, connect your 910 to the pc and then go to "My Computer" and open the drive for your 910. Delete "ttsystem". Now open TomTom Home and let TomTom Home install the operating system for your 910.

Make sure bluetooth is switched on and data transfer is swithed on, on your device, and your phone, then select manage phones on your device in the menu and it should find your phone and connect it

I'm presuming that it use to turn on,yes? try doing a soft reset by removing it from the dock and turning it over and removing the sd card (if you have one installed), and then, using a straightened paper clip or straight pin, locate the reset hole (about 1" to the left of the sd card slot) and push it for about 15 seconds. Hopefully after that you will be able to turn the unit on. If that doesn't work, you'll have to call tech support.
