My TomTom froze
 
Went on a trip last weekend and half way thru my TomTom Rider froze.
The screen didn't move, couldn't turn it off/on.
Had to wait till the battery died then plugged it in to the charger and it started again.
Anyone had similar problems?
Regards
Mick

Hi, Guess you don't read manuals :)

In the bottom there is a small .5mm hole insert a thin NON METAL item in to it until you feel a small click, and then power on and hay presto it will work again. It's a hard reset don't worry nothing else will change, only that it will wake up the system from the freeze.

hope that helps when it happens again.

ive had this happen a few times, i dont have a tomtom but my garmin did it a few times before it seemed to settle down and my ipod does it occasionally.
every PDA ive had at work has a tiny reset button in the back, and on some things (like the ipod) theres a sequence of button pressing involved. some do a "hard" reset or a "soft" reset, too.
it sounds like a nightmare of unreliability but its no bother really, i guess you have to put up with it as a price of more and more technology.

depends what generation your from, too.
my dad would smash it against the wall screaming "F*****g Thing!!"

i would go get the handbook and finally read it like i shouldve when i got it,

and my 9yr old son would say "gizzit here you dozy old fart, you dont know nuffink i'll sort it art for ya"
