Tom Tom 930

Hi,

updated my 930 to latest last week, now when I switch on...boots up goes to log on graphic hangs, sometimes reboots or just switches off. If I connect to Tom Tom Home on computer...boots up , does maps updates and allows making routes.
Can anyone suggest a fix??

Well, that could be the problem.

Well, that is the similar to mine although it gives me a battery alarm within a minute when not plugged in.
Hadn't bothered me up to now as it was either in the cradle on the desk or connected to the CLA.
Lately I have too much stuff on the desk but only 2 USB cables and if I switch around without first changing cables it balks.

Don't know how you do that unless you have a mains to miniUSB charger (which were available at the time).

Have you tried, after programming a route, to power button off while connected to HOME (uproar by the moderators about not shutting down properly). The take the device to the car, plug into an 'always on' cigarette lighter (or start the car if not always on), then push the power button and see if the programmed route is offered.

Car charger may be faulty then. Do other devices charge ok in the car? Can you try it in another auto?
