4yr old TomTom GO300 has died what are the options

[milanbenes]

evening all,

my trusty 4yr old TomTom GO300 has died.

It won't boot up.

What do I do ?

I assume in this throw away world I just get another one

if so, shall I get another TomTom or try a Garmin or something,
plus, I need the maps for Central and Eastern Europe

what do the experts say ?

Thanks

Milan.

Are you sure it isn't just the battery? Similar thing happened to my tomtom - but I ordered a new battery on ebay and it is fine now. They are fairly easy to install - a google search for your model should find it.

Seems that Tomtom is another initiative from the chaps that invented Psion. You can't put a good genius down.

Have you tried changing the tape on it?

[ChimpMaster]

Flip it over and bone it.

i.e. there's a reset hole at the bottom that you can stick your pin into. Make sure it's on charge when you do it.

[Tingles]

Have you done the reset procedure?

Get Mrs Benes to map read for you.

They don't want it, so you'll give it to them? Hmm. Expect they'll appreciate that.
