My daughter has one of the above and the screen is now blank. The backlight is on and it plays its jingle on reset. It even works on the PC through TT Home. TT want 85 euros to repair it though it is only 24 months old. I can't even see how to get the case apart. To me it sounds like a dislodged display connector. Any ideas?
Is it one of the ones with a label along the bottom edge? Screws under that.
Google is (perhaps) your friend

The plastic tools shown in some videos can be found on Ebay for little money - usually advertised as mobile phone repair tools
Thanks. I can now get it apart but have no idea how the display connector is attached. Any more ideas?
How did it come apart in the end?
Is the connector attached or not?

Is there no cable from the LCD to the rest of it? If not then look for a row of contacts on the panel and something that looks like a thin stiff rubber block on the circuit board (or vice versa) - this would be a conductive connector which the contacts "sit on".
If the "rubber connector" is what you have, then I've seen issues with cheap timers where the panel moves slightly and will no longer make good contact. The solution for me was to pad the circuit board forward, or the LCD back, forcing them to make physical contact again.

TomTom should be disbanded, it is a pestilence on this country. And there is a good reason that there is a TomTom Forum entitled: "Customer Service Feedback - where to file complaints so management will see". Throw it in the recycle bin, where it belongs.
