My tomtom GO 920 screen appears to not turn on, however, I realize it is actually on, but it's very very dim. I have tried adjusting the brightness settings, which hasn't helped.

SOURCE: TOMTOM GO 300 THe LCD screen won't light up.

Screens that don't light up are usually caused by the bulb going ( called " The Backlight " ). Unfortunatly , on a TomTom it is intergral with the screen so cannot be replaced seperatly. You can only replace the whole screen. There are other possiblities for the screen not lighting such as the ribbon cable that goes to the screen might not be quite plugged in right or theres a break in that ribbon cable + other reasons that become less likely as we go down the list. A simple test with a miltimeter by someone with knowledge of tomtoms will prove or disprove the backlight working and you should then know where you stand. Good luck.

SOURCE: Flashing X on start up

If you have a memory card in then remove it press the reset and try to start up again.

This problem is usually the way the memory card is formatted.
I solved mine by doing a search for "format tom tom memory card" or "format tom tom SD card"

After I had done that I backed up my TT then put the card in and then restored to the card and all good from there on.

Advance alarm clock manual

Yes, you can adjust the LED display brightness on the Advance Model 3138 alarm clock. To adjust the brightness, follow these steps:
  1. Press and hold the "SNOOZE/DIM" button for 2 seconds. The current brightness level will appear on the display.
  2. Press the "SNOOZE/DIM" button repeatedly to cycle through the available brightness levels.
  3. Once you have selected the desired brightness level, wait for a few seconds for the clock to automatically save your selection.
Note that the brightness levels are labeled as "HI," "MED," and "LO" on the clock. If you want to turn off the display entirely, you can press the "SNOOZE/DIM" button once more after selecting the "LO" brightness level.

Message on my TomTom GO 920 screen, you can not use this map on this device

It appears that the map (validation/activation) has been lost / corrupted (damaged)... or the map hasn't been activated, or is not compatible with the navigation software installed on that GPS.

If the map file/data simply was corrupted, consider using your PC's Disk Utilities (or CheckDisk) to restore/fix the disk (or SD card). If you have a back-up copy of it, consider restoring it from backup.
If your TomTom GPS is new / still under warranty, contact TomTom support to have them activate it for you.

Dim screen

Hi,
Dimming your screen is actually a way to save battery to extend the usage hours of your device.
To adjust the brightness of your screen, go to:
Settings > Brightness>
drag the button there to the left or to the right, depending on what you prefer.

I have a tomtom go 920 my sreen turns sometimes black after it flickers but it stil tells me where to go ! Is there something loose insite ?

The TomTom has a power-saving scheme. If enabled, the screen may be dimmed or turned off if you are travelling straight ahead and no left or right turns are imminent. It will come back when instructions are given.
Check the preferences and look for battery power-saving.

Toshiba 36A42 TV. Dim Picture

Check the "screen" control on the flyback (lower knob) its easy to hit moving a board around. Try to adjust back to its original setting. Look for where the dust is, it should be on top. Or any marks might help. Other wise adjust slowly, back off if any retrace lines appear, with user settings at there normal settings.
