When I click on the bottom right of the screen it shows the battery status, which doesn't show charging.

It has been sat in the cradle for about 5 hours with the green light on. Rather than charging the battery has actually gone totally flat so that when I try to turn it back on now it boots up to the welcome screen but then flashes low battery and shuts back down again.

Any ideas???

try holding the unit tightly into the holder while checking the charging meter it
if it charges then it is the usual problem with this model that the clips dont hold anymore

Hi,

It is on the cradle plugged into the mains. The problem is the battery has gone totally flat so I can't start it up to see if the status changes to charging when I push it down onto the cradle.

I have tried pushing it down and holding it on for a few minutes but it still wont start up now.

I have also tried the reset button.

The Desktop mount doesn't use the retaining clips, it just perches on top.

Dmoblay - try rocking the Unit on the mount. I usually find that if you hold the base with one hand, and tilt the unit back with the other, then as you bring it forward push the bottom of the unit tight into the base.

Easier to do than say. Rolling Eyes

Leave it powered up for an hour or so.

you will need to try pushing it in a number of positions to get it to contact

while holding it tightly get someone else to push the start button

if it does start then the only way i have found with this problem it to jam a piece of card or something between the hoilder and unit to make the connection only problem is you cant just take the unit off the holder without going through it all again

I replaced the battery but I have to rock the gps a ton before I can get a position that it will stay on. Does anybody think the connectors in the gps are bad? can the connector be bought? is there a USA number for tomtom?
Thanks
