My 18 month old Tom Tom One recently went dead even when plugged into my car charger. I then borrowed my son's 6 month old Tom Tom and it went dead while plugged into my car lighter socket. Is the problem with my lighter socket or our gps's? |

| Does the light come on the charger when plugged in to lighter? If not that may be the problem. I guess it wouldn't be that easy.

| Also check that the battery connection from charger to machine are not rusted or anything, maybe sandpaper will work...

try pluging TomTom into your computer. If it works you know it's not the TomTom...

Try the charger in a different car too, if it still won't work, replace the charger. A standard Motorola miniUSB phone chager should work (as long as the GPS uses a standard miniUSB port).
If the charger works, check the fuses in your car. If no go, get an auto electrician to check your car
