Reasons behind a non-charging TomTom battery

  • The battery most likely needs to be changed if the gadget doesn’t seem to be charging or holding a charge.
  • The charging unit, such as a home or car charger, may not be operating correctly, which is another reason why the device might not be charging. In this instance, buying a new charger is necessary.
  • Resetting the device is an option if it doesn’t seem to be working correctly. Using a tiny object like a paper clip, hold down the reset button (which is located above the SD card slot) for 15 seconds to reset the device. It might be necessary to update your device if this resolves the problem. Check out the Updating Device Firmware section to see how to update your device.
  • The device’s speaker is probably broken. If you have tried resetting the device and it still doesn’t work, you should replace the speaker.
  • It is most likely the case that the battery is dead when the display is blank. In this instance, just to be sure, reset the device first. If after doing this the device still won’t turn on, connect the battery charger and leave it overnight to charge.
