My 1-month old TomTom One won't boot. It shows the animated graphic telling me not to remove the SD card, and that's all that happens, even five minutes after it's been turned on. (This is after trying to update it from one PC and then trying from a second PC - but please dont ask me to precisely describe the steps I went through to get here).
I have tried holding down the reset button for one minute - no difference. Tried holding down the power on button for a long time - I get to see the Monochrome Hardware Type/Bootloader version - and then back to the animated graphic telling me not to remove the SD card
If I then connect it to the PC, I get the Please Wait hourglass and then I just get the screen with the picture of the TomTom. From Explorer in my PC (XP SP2) I see a "Removable Disk E:" but when I click on it "The disk in drive E: is not formatted".
When starting the Home software (downloaded today), the software says "there is no compatible TomTom device connected to the computer"
I dont have a backup.
So I am well stuffed ... clearly the next steps will be to phone Tech Support and maybe get a replacement - but the device was navigating me and my car around town yesterday - its only after I tried to update the software this morning that this problem has occurred - so it feels like the problem should be fixable if you go through the right sequence of steps?
