Tomtom rider 2ND edition starts after charging but screen goes blank when memory card is inserted after prompt from startup screen.
What happens when it started up with the card already installed?
Bummer. OK -- have you ever backed up the content of your SD card? It contains ALL of the firmware and maps for your unit. But first -- can you read it in a PC successfully? Directories and files look normal?
The unit worked OK from when I bought it, I will not be able to check SD card until weds day eve I'm on nights today.
Found all the above files still on the SD cardLet's start from the beginning, and see if we can't resurrect this thing. BTW, did it ever work after the purchase?
We need you to drop that SD back into your PC and for you to look for a folder called UK&ROI or similar that contains your maps .. unless you had all of Western_Europe, in which case, you're looking for a folder with a name similar to that. If you can take a snapshot of most of the content of your map folder, we can at least establish if those appear to be intact. If they are, then we can recommend exactly what to delete (and what NOT to delete!) on your card so that we can reload the firmware and other ancillary bits and pieces from scratch to see if that helps.
The BIG thing is making sure the maps at least appear to be intact. We'll be looking for some largish files with names like cline.dat, cnode.dat and cname.dat.
