How do I reset my TOMTOM N14644?
Go to TOM TOM´s homepage http://www.tomtom.com/services/
Connect the GPS unit to the PC using the USB2 connection.
You will be given the possibility to restore the unit´s files. This takes a while, but it solved the problem for me.
When switched on green light next to switch flickers but that is all
It sounds like the TomTom isn't able to boot up. This may be due to a software or data issue.
Have you tried to (use HOME on your computer to) connect to the TomTom server ? to update the software/data, and/or tried to restore the software / data with the (previously) backed-up copy (that you had previously saved on your computer) ?
Update maps for Tom Tom Go 700, including those for East Europe
Even when you do that it doesn't really update it just updates the software so that it looks like you can update the maps but when you touch to update it just tells you, you have to get an updated map for about $100.00 US. This is bull because you pay upward of 400.00 for this GPS. Then you have to pay pay and pay out of pocket over and over again. So there should be a way to update the map without coming out of pocket every year. The really funny thing is that I got mine about 1.5 years ago and the maps were about 3 years old if not more. Now they even want money to update POI now. Which they probably charge the owner of a business to have his address and number available for the consumer that has this line of GPS available? Tom Tom should probably take a look at other brands like Garmin for instance and see why they are doing so much better in sales because there maps are better. But like any computer its always the software that make it or breaks it in this market.....
