    I want to be able to bring it back to life as it was, I don't know how I managed to get to this mode, now I can't use it anymore and I connect it to the computer in vain because it doesn't do anything

      If it has a memory card inside, remove it and try again. If there is no memory card inside, then most likely the internal flash drive is dead, hence it is not connecting to the PC. I suppose, you have MyDrive Connect installed. Also try on a non-USB3 port.

      @@OCDaddyZsolt is there a way to repair the internal flash drive? Because I got the same problem. I can charge my TomTom by connecting to the laptop but it won't pick up that it is connected to the PC.

    Hello maybe someone can help me. After recovery I connect my Navi to PC but it doesn't start to update automatically. Navi is connected but error message "device no responding".

      Hi, if you use USB3 (blue plastic in the connector on the PC), then try with USB2 (black). Or try with a different USB cable.

    I press the button as you said but it restarts again
    Do you know why ?

      That's odd. It should display the diagnostic screen. Do you have a memory card placed in the device? If you do so, try to remove and give another go.

      I can think of these:
      - Battery might be "shot", if it is not holding charge for over 1 hour (fully charged, unplugged).
      - Internal storage might be faulty.
      - Could try a facrory reset from the menu (if you can access it), but this will delete all your settings and data.

      By pressing the ON button, until it restarts, should do the trick.

    I have a TomTom GO 40. Updated it recently and now is just stuck on the TomTom logo and does nothing more. Sound glitches on boot up too. I have tried this method but doesn't seem to work.

      If you have a memory card inserted, try to remove it.

      Memory card removed and it just boot loops following your instructions.

    • @OCDaddyZsolt
      @OCDaddyZsolt  Рік тому

      Try the recovery now, without the memory card. In case it won’t help, then most likely the internal flash storage is damaged.

    What if you don't have a pc?

    • @OCDaddyZsolt
      @OCDaddyZsolt  10 місяців тому

      Well, you need one, otherwise the device can't download the recovery files via MyDrive Connect. It can be either Windows, or Mac, but you need one. If you don't have either, will need to pop over to a friend with a 6-pack of beer :)

      Hi there, is it an operational device otherwise? The 3 taps should be quick, within a second. If you can't exit from the TomTom logo, keep pressing the ON button as long as it restarts.

      Never used the Pro models. If it was yours before, need to ask the WebFleet admin for a new password. If not, then not sure, what. is the solution.
