My TT has just died. It is only realatively new and I regularly keep it charged either from the car or from my computer. Yesterday, it failed to start with the ON/OFF switch so assumed it may be a low battery - unlikely, so I have had it on charge for the last 20+ hours. Red charging light showing and this am have tried again. Checked simple on/off - nothing. held down switch for about 30 secs hoping for a drum roll reboot - nothing.
Any suggestions, please ?

When you have it connected to the car with the CLA, no success getting it to turn on then either?
Does relatively newmean it's still under warranty?

Hi David
Cannot turn it on with either the CLA with any cable to the computer - Nothing! It's as new as your latest one  About two months......

Well, it seems that a warranty claim is in order.
Yeah, winter returned to our area today .... -20C wind chill. But back to 0 on Monday, they say.

Yep, will return to it's home on Monday, unless I can get it going before then...thought I might put it in the oven for 1/2 hr to warm it up. It was -12C here last night but is now -4C - so summer is arriving for you.
PS Only joking about the oven. Just in case anyone might try the same trick.

| If it has been in the car, and then brought into the house, then condensation is likely to cause shorts that will stop it working. Put it somewhere warm (not oven!) for a few hours and it may work. |
