Changing the battery tomtom go 710

register the device, tomtom home will reinstall the original map that was on the unit when new

It may be likely that the "registration" matter is related to the map ... and not the GPS device ... that one can register (as the owner) when the device is purchased new ... to get and load the latest map.
If this assumption is correct, your device would start up but not even get to the "driving screen" ... because there's no (valid) map.
You can first try to register the GPS device (on tomtom.com) against your name, etc., and opt to purchase a map (of your choice). With this purchase, you will download the map (software and data), and an activation code to validate the map. After that you should be able to use the GPS device (for that purchased map).
If you'd like additional instructions/options, let me know how I can reach you by email.

Hi
if you go to tomtom's website and plug in the data cable you will be able to update it, there is a fee for updates not sure the exact cost. Here is the link http://www.tomtom.com/page/mapupdateservice

Hope this helps

Your tomtom needs a new battery for starters as a bad battery will do this trust me or not. Now if its new and i mean straight out of the box return it as its going to have more issues in the long term. You also might try reloading the software on it but I am sure its the battery. Thanks please do leave postive feedback for my advice.

More than likely the small spaker inside has siezed up!
You can puchase a replacement (search ebay for replacement speaker tomtom) for about 10GBP.

They are easy to replace - 4 screws on back of 710, pop out main unit, and remove 4 screws holding speaker, unplug and install new one - reverse to assembly once more.

I had a strange experience in Vegas when I took my tomtom710 on vacation. the tomtom was silent in the UK - speaker dead as a doedoe, however 3-4 hours in the Vegas heat on the dash made the speaker pop back into life!
Result I thought, however on return to the UK the temp had returned to below miserable and the tomtom didn't wanna play ball anymore.

So, tested the output internally with another temp speaker, all works fine - so just ordered a replacement "original" tom tom speaker to fully fix.

Replacing the TomTom Go 720's battery is actually not all that hard as this video demonstrates:

The company that produced the video sells a kit which includes the battery and tools necessary to do this yourself if you'd like. See: http://www.newpower99.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TOMTOM+GO+720&Show=ExtInfo I swapped the battery of a friend's dying GPS using the aforementioned kit and all went well. His Go 720 is back up and running smoothly.
Hope this Helps, aaron

Hi There,

If you are trying to change the time while your tomtom is not connected to the computer and using 'operate my device' it will not let you do it.

If you are using the device while it is disconnected from the computer and you still cannot change the time, try and delete the mapsettings.cfg which is in your tomtom map folder eg f:/Australia/Mapssettings.cfg

hope thie helps.

Thanks,
Pabs
