Tom tom wont switch on

First, check and make sure your battery is fully charged. Then try to do a "Reset" .... by pressing and holding down the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds (or a lot more) until the device powers on again. Yes, at times, it may take a minute or more ! of holding that button down.

What is your charging method? In car or house hold plug? Suggest that charger is not working (Green) if light on Tom Tom (at bottom near charger lead) is not lighting. Check your charger and see if you have an indicator light on it showing it is on. If yes, plug in Tom, then press and hold the "on" button for 15 seconds constinuously. Tom Tom should reboot.

hook it up to the usb cable to your computer for a few hours,(make sure the green power light on the front is on) then press and hold the power button for up to 10 seconds.

ALL That is necessary for the Triumph Of evil is That good men do nothing.

hold the power on button down until it turns on, does this help, also being plugged into charger with green light coming on normally means that the unit is charged.

You need to press and hold the power button down until you see the screen come on.

To only way you can fix it is taking apart the Tom Tom, checking if the flat ribbon cable and connector to the screen are well in place and eventually replace the display ($80 on Ebay).
Unfortunately this will invalidate the guaranty, and you risk to damage your GPS if you are not a really experienced DIYer. Tom Tom offer one year full guaranty on all their receivers.
