|
|
No longer get the option to connect to computer when connecting my TomTom 530T via USB. TomTom turns on normally - and works normally - but does not give me the option to connect to computer for updating. Just get an error message saying USB device not recognised. Using XP.
Any help to solve this would be appreciated |

Try a pin reset on the 530. That often rectifies the problem. _________________ David |

Yes soft pin reset will do it, but after the reset turn your device off, then on again, before connecting to computer. Also restart your computer. _________________ Mike R [aka Wyvern46]

Thank you both for your help.
I had tried the soft pin reset and it didn't work
Why is it that it DID work after I had read your posts
