How about reducing the number of POI's showing as too many can cause problems, and/or only having relevant speedcams loaded rather than all available even if they're not req'd (this refers to a Euro map when only driving in the UK etc)

Remember you:
Install the original navcore with TThome.
Install a new map without anything else, do not put pdi, radars, or mapsettings.
Don't put sounds folder in navcore.
Start the device with the basics, navcore and map, to rule out problems with corrupted files.
If that doesn't work, format your device and redo the path outlined above.

Update and thanks for your suggestions.
Formatted TT and loaded TTHome Nav 9.541
Added the most basic UK Map with no Poi or cameras and deleted mapsettings, Voices and postcodes.
Activated the maps but unfortunately it still stopped and restarted after about 1 min.
When I connected to my PC I thought I would see a new version of mapsettings in the maps but there is nothing. Am I right in thinking that mapsettings should reappear when the TT restarts.
I also noticed that when only the Nav was in the TT the warning message that there were no maps did not make the TT switch off and restart. This is probably because there were no maps in the TT to do anything but thought I would mention it in case it meant something about the problem.
Thanks again for all your suggestions it's really helpful if not successful.

I remember such a problem recently with a GO 910, on the HDD I had placed both Europe and the Benelux.
With the map of Europe active there was always a reset, with the Benelux active this was not the case.
Now I later found out that there were errors on the HDD and after some testing the GO 910 stopped working altogether.
It might be worth trying to test with an even smaller map?
A low-level format may also be an option?
I don't know what was written about the protection sector
P.S.
Lowlevel format here available

Pe1agp's suggestion is good, if the aforementioned has not worked, it is most likely that the device is damaged by bad usb disconnections. Low-level formatting rarely works, but sometimes it has. In Go 910 it is more likely because these devices have a hard disk.

I totally agree with you Orni, but as a last attempt to make something of it, it can't be much worse

I have had several TomToms refuse to boot, but usually they display something, even static before dying again. Hold the on button down for 30secs to get the black and white diag screen.
Secondly they battery may be kaput. Open it up, see if it is an inflated pillow shape. Often noticed by a bruise mark on the lcd screen when you push a button. I have discovered very old 3 pin nokia batteries work fine - if you use double sided tape so they do not move around. I snipped off the old 3 pin and with a soldering iron soldered them back correctly, noting polarity with the middle to sensor pin. Pity they do not gold plate modern batteries anymore.
There is room to hotglue another charge port in or homebrew a 2mm bolt and washer out the back and attach it to a Cn made $2 flexible phone holder. I have also used a stainless steel clothespeg. Maybe is is luck, but the local car window breaker coin change thieves notice an ancient TT XL, then tend to skip to the next car deciding you are impoverished.
My last TT or anyotherbrand mod is to remove throw out the pcb guts, and install a $5 movement spy cam inside, preferably from a goodwill bin sale. Cops do nothing, but a blowup faceshot poster on local power poles is fair enough for breaking a ignition lock, not knowing car immobilizer was going to go nowhere.Last edited by ethernet; 26th August 2024 at 05:37 PM.
