TomTom Go 6200 Loop cannot remove corrupted map file

[Fox]

Hello Guys

How the heck can you delete a corrupted file if you cannot access the Device!

When TomTom boots it will only last in the main screen for approx 3 to 5 seconds before rebooting
I have tried Holding the power button down and then clicking it 3 times for recovery, but seems to only try the lasted buggered file.

Anyway to do this? Only brought it yesterday and 1 update later - this BS

Hi,
It may not be the map that's corrupted, but the software that isn't installed correctly. https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-gb/ar...ion-device-not-starting-or-displaying-a-cross

You said you bought it yesterday. The GPS is under warranty, so use the warranty.

You may also be disappointed to find out that the cellular technology of the 6200 is 2G ... something that hasn't been available in Australia for a while now. It's been since Vodafone shut it down in June 2018 that a TomTom has made a cellular connection there.

I'm assuming you picked this up 2nd hand?

@Willy875
Not likely that this is new stock with a warranty.

If it is a used GPS, the first thing to do before buying is to turn it on and test it.
