yes its 5 volts centre positive.. i imagine there is single cell 3.7 volts lithium battery inside.. five volts is the standard voltage for charging such batteries..
unfortunately mine has just died on me.. even when fed with the car charger..
one dead little used go 300 complete with western euro map and external aerial.. hmmm..
it was bought over a year ago from curries.. which leaves me wondering how long does tomtom guarantee these things for and i am pretty certain i dont have the original receipt or exact purchase date.. hmmmm

TWO years, usually. Check the lic_eng.txt in the licences folder on the Go ...Ooops you can't!  You're going to need that proof of purchase though....
Otherwise Eldar's SatNav Repair Shop should be able to help. |
