it needs a hard reset,

from the off position,
hold the power down till after it starts and then goes blank, then turn it back on, it will forget all former positions and clear the ram.

Looks like the touch screen may need replacement. There is a third party tomtom Repair service that will replace the part. If you want to do it yourse, there is a tomtom repair guide , the screen is available on ebay.

Hello mate i have the same sat-nav, but not your problems, turn of the unit remove the sd card, reset the unit and turn it back on and then insert the sd card and see what happens, Do you have computer software for it so you can connect to the internet to download updates?

fix it

I would send it back to tomtom again and tell them it is definatly not finding satellites. Hopefully they will find the fault this time. if you prefer not to send it to tomtom but have it checked somewhere else , then maybe you can search online with google as I know there are at least 3 places to have it looked at but I won't mention them here as its not a forum for advertising. There are several reasons why its not picking up sats but there are 3 most likely causes. A/ Contact with top antenna board has become broken / unplugged ~ tomtom one and one V2. - B/ Ribbon cable has become unplugged ~ tomtom Go - C/ software faulty or faulty sd card . ......... Most likely cause is faulty file on SD card .
