    4yr old TomTom GO300 has died what are the options

    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?

          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.

                job's a good un

                bought a new one

                if the old one still works will donate it to me parents who stubbornly refuse
                to have such technology

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