Hello.
I have had my TomTom 720 for about 11 months now. After about a month, the battery stopped holding a charge. This did not really affect me, because I would just plug it into the cig lighter whenever I needed it. Anyhow, About a month ago, the connection to the power cord started getting a little funky. I would have to wiggle it to get the little green light to turn on. Now, the only way to get power is to put a zip tie on the gps to hold the power cord in place. If i hit a speed bump, the power cuts out and I have to wiggle it again to give it power and re-start the unit. Is there any way to fix this myself? I went to Best Buy and they cannot find my purchase record, due to it being a debit purchase (same as cash) and they only record credit transactions. So, tomtom won't fix my unit because I can't provide with proof of purchase. I received this as a gift from my wife last June for my birthday. Any ideas? Thanks
