Each time I switch on my tom tom one it stays on the orange coloured screen with a tom tom picture. Tapping the screen doesn't change a thing and neither does resetting it. Is this the end of its life? Have had it for just over one year.

Is the static colour bent also? It shouldn't be. It takes hours some times top set these things up. Cover one colour up with a piece of card whilst setting another to the donor colour. Usually Green stays static for this purpose. Hope that helps.
If you turn on your tom tom gps device and the only thing that comes on is the tom tom display screen, then you need to reset it first. To reset it, what you have to do is to hold down the power on/off button for about 15 seconds and that will reset your tom tom, if it does the same, then you have to reinstall the tom tom application on it.
To reinstall its software, you connect it to a computer then it will detect the device, then the latest software downloads will come up, download it on to your gps, now when you plug it into your car and turn it on, it will get passed the tom tom display screen and start up normally.
Hope this information helped.

Either the volume is low or muted. You need to scroll through the menu and check sounds. There may well be a speaker with a red cross through it in your menu which will indicate it is muted. The volume control is pound by tapping in the corner of the screen-I think its bottom right. When you switch on you tomtom it may well say the version number. Does it speak for general directions? If it does and the above does not solve anything then look for the setting which lets you choose "audible alerts" or just alerts as you should have an option of getting the spoken warning which you want.
I had the same problem until my wife quickly figured it out.Touch the main part of the screen and then touch change preferences.Hit the forward arrow several times {4 on mine}then you will see "set clock".I'm not sure if i have a 520 ,but it is a tom-tom.
