one 3rd edition problems

i also have a one 3rd edition.

the only possible problem i have is that it makes a whining noise when switched on. you can hear it whining/whirring away quite clearly with no radio on in the car at a standstill.

is it a common thing or is it fried already after 2 days ownership? also, if you out your ear to the speaker you can hear a fan like sound...im guessing this is the chips fan working?

cheers again

Sorry to say this but you need to take it back and get it changed, for a start there is no fan in the device, the noise you can hear is most probably from the screen back light inverter which produces quite a high voltage, when faulty these can (and do) whine - Mike

another thing, when connected to tomtom home, it says i have 15000 odd corrections waiting, if i click on the blue "map share" text, it opens a new page, searches for a few seconds then says no updates available...any ideas?

cheers

The map share updates are not really much use to you as yet, get the device swapped for another one before you waste time updating the faulty device - Mike

If I take something back during the first month I always have a refund, then I buy it again. That way you warranty starts again. Obviously not a good idea if the price has gone up.
