TomTom GO700 Hard drive failed ?

ciderdup

Hi all , my tomtom GO 700 has developed an intermittent fault where you can turn it on and it will work for so long then the screen goes green and a picture of a disc with a red cross through it comes up ?, however i can reset it and sometimes it will start first reset other times it takes 3-4 resets then when you type an address in it makes a regular bleeping noise before finding it and othertimes it does the bleeping if its just in 'standby' mode , so back to the original question , is the hard drive knackered ? is it easy to replace or fix or is there any other settings or ways to fix it ? , many thanks for any advice.

I would call TomTom and ask them. Is it still under warranty?

Hi spaceboy , no the warranty ran out long time ago its approx 5 yrs old now tomtom customer service not over helpful im afraid , i have 3 other tomtoms aswell as this and all those have died after 15 months so was hoping to salvage this one if poss as its been superb up until now .
