It's the way that the software works.
You obviously have the Device connected by the USB lead when the PC and the Device is on.

Make sure you use the correct disconnect device procedure if you decide to connect or you could corrupt your tomtom software .
The general consensus on the site is to make a back up copy in windows explorer
Hope you do not think I am telling you how to suck eggs |

When? 
If it happens with NOTHING connected - it's a fault.
Try a reset or a return to factory settings and if it still does it, send it back.
If it happens when you are connected to a computer - that's normal.
But I guess you realise that!
If it happens when you connect to the power supply - are you using the genuine TomTom one?
I've seen this happen with Garmin models that use the USB connector for power as well when using a TomTom car charger instead of the Garmin one (but I've never seen it on a TomTom when using the same TomTom charger). |

Yeah, sorry for not explaining the problem correctly. It happens while I use it
in the car. When I tap "No", the voice prompt goes off. Tried resetting it etc but no joy. Thanks for the replies. |

So are you using the genuine TT car charger?
And what "voice prompt goes off"? |

Hi
I had this with a 720. I returned it for a replacement. It is caused by a faulty pcb apparrently.
