Brand new Tom Tom One 125 showing blinking red X when turned on

Never updated, brand new out of the box, charged. Any fixes or should I bring it back and exchange or buy something else? Updated my Tom Tom ONE with latest maps and software update and when I tried to reboot all I get is a Red Circle with blinking White "X".  Looking around the internet for answers, it seems to be a problem with many people whenever they attempted to update.  Has anybody successfully restored their units.  I did not do a back-up until after this problem.  Based on Tom Tom Home all the files/maps/etc. are there.  Thankful for any help.

I was able to speak with Tech Support at Tom Tom and got sent some links for solutions to these problems.  I was able to solve the problem following directions from this website.  Without that response of the support person to this specific problem, I would still be without my new GPS system.  Turned out that there is a conflict with the MAC OS and updates to Tom Tom, but there is a solution to this that worked for me.
If you get the continual red circle with blinking "X" and recently tried updating either your maps or most recent app, here are the two web links that will solve the problem:
www.tomtom.com/10324 (to disable SPOTLIGHT from causing a conflict on the Tom Tom ONE)
www.tomtom.com/9091 (general info for removing software and re-installing software to the Tom Tom ONE)
Do the disabling of SPOTLIGHT first, then remove and re-load software for Tom Tom ONE.  Good Luck.  This did the trick for me.

Metz 76-56 battery charger keeps flashing red light

One of your cells is defective.
It maybe brand new, but we don't know how long it's been in the box.


You will need a DVM to troubleshoot the battery.

WE are trying to hook up our new cable box. We cannot get the TV to go on. A red light keeps flashing.

What brand and model is the t.v.? Usually a red blinking light is a code meaning something is wrong. Watch how many times it blinks and post the brand and model of the t.v. and how many times the stand by light blinks. First unplug it for at least 2 minutes and re-check all the cable connections to make sure they are plugged into the right places. Then plug the t.v. back in and turn it on first before you turn the cable box on. Good Luck, hope this helps.

I have a brand new laptop 2 days old it has flickered since opening box i figured maybe battery so ive charged it it still flickers and a pop up about moving heador somthing vibration and hard disk drive...

You should bring it back to the store and exchange it if it's brand new. Charging will not fix the issue, and it sounds like it has some hardware issues that need to be resolved by the manufacturer.

Tom Tom 910 map free update

nope im afraid you will have to cough up for the new maps (map corrections etc will only show new one way directions, and new or adjusted POIs), might be a good idea to wait till brand new maps are available before you splash any cash, good luck

Tom Tom 500 says memory card not installed

What I can suggest is download the drivers & software first .. Than buy another brand of memory card.. I had same issue with a Mp3 player that I had purchased.. It wouldnt recognise the card even though it was setup properly.. I returned it and baught a different brand.. Worked Like a Charm..

#2 If you for some reason cant get the software to install or work properly, I suggest you buy a new Tom Tom (( EXACT MODEL )) and than take the old Tom Tom put it in the new box and take it back with your receipt and tell them this doesnt work.. Ive done that b4 with a Speaker system and it wasnt an issue with the store...

Good Luck !
