Hi Guys

My tomtom screen stopped working today, well it works when it wants to.

I have done all the resets etc but it still doenst work properly, so am guessing will have to send it back to TomTom.

Is this an easy process, do I have to have an account with TomTom etc.

Cheers

Nigel

Have you tried the trick of running a thin card between the touch screen and its bezel? This apparantly often works, as a bit of crud can get between them and act as a constant input.

Also, if you have a screen protector on the unit, this can cause issues over time as it dries out, shrinks a bit, and causes pressure on the glass as if a 'ghost' was pushing the icons.
