Your TomTom may have to be reset. According to the manual:

To reset your ONE XL, use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to
push the reset button. The reset button is next to the memory card slot on the
bottom of your ONE XL. Then turn your ONE XL on.

Remember, after a reset, your TomTom MAY take up to 20 seconds to start when using it for the first time.

Hope this helps.

look for a small hole on the outside case near the sd card reader. might need a paperclip or pin to poke the microswitch inside the hole. simply clicking the switch doesn't work, try holding it for 5 seconds then try to power up. Common problem with GPS devices, (my mio included) is after being plugged in for a long time, the battery life becomes nil and it relies upon the charger. Check tom to xl for further problem solving. google search TOM TOM XL won't power up.

TomTom ONE, the card is desabe. how to enable please.

The TomTom XL 340-S uses the power button as a reset. With the unit turned off, hold down the power button for approximately 15 seconds, until the TomTom turns on. As soon as the unit turns on, release the power button. The unit is now reset.

Hi, press the reset button & keep it pressed whilst pressing the on/off button a number of times.This should wake it up. PS make sure it is charged! Bluey
