I purchased my tomtom GPS in 2007 and I used it without incident over the years, with the exception that on a few occasion it did not come on and I had to reset it, and eventually it would work But not any more. Could it be too old? Or is it because I was not using the device for a consecutive 4 year period?

My 510 was doing the exact same thing.
I called customer support and they helped me get it working again.
866-486-6866 is the number but here is what they had me do.
I had to push down the reset button for 15 seconds (the reset is in a small cut out near where you plug in the charger on the bottom.you will need to use a pin and you will feel the pin push in the button if you have it in the right spot.)
Then release the reset and hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds. the screen should come right back on.
If you need more help I suggest calling the 866# they are very helpful.

got me I just installed the software on mine today and have yet to see anything but the blank tom tom on my screen

hook it to your usb cable to your for a few hours and then try and start it. first with the power button, it that fails try the hard reset..if neither those work, download tomtom home. follow the directions and tomtom home should be able to repair it unless you have internal problems, like a bad usb port on the gps. bill

Replace the battery!. Maximum life is two years. If you have not fully charged it by usb or ac prior to a trip and then connected it to the 12v car outlet before starting the engine the battery becomes damaged overtime.
Battery level determines the time it takes to make a connection. Always keep it charged. Never plug it into 12v car power when starting engine. This will not only shorten the life of the battery, but wiull damage the SIIRF chip.

According to Bill, from the TomTom technical services, your TomTom will charge when plugged either to your computer or to your car, as long at your gps unit is turned OFF.
