TOMTOM 5 and backlight switching off

Wajcha · #1 (**permalink**) 20-12-2005, 05:06 AM

Hello there,

My tomtom is working fine but the moment I tab the TomTom Navigator the backlight switches off. I don't know if it's becouse I don't have my reciever connected or is there something wrong with the software. I don't have problems with maps or voice. It is only that backlight. As soon as I turn the tomtom off the backlight comes back on. Any ideas?

Please help me

Assuming you have a PDA, look in your settings for power option.

In there you can specify to turn off the back light after x minutes when on battery, and x minutes when charging.

Mine's set to always on if charging, and 30 minutes on battery.

Sorry for the lack of information. I have XDA II and in backlight settings if external power source is on always ON and on battery always ON. I also tryed setting ''o battery turn off after 5 min'' didn't help

Under what conditions does it turn off (battery, on charge or both?)

Both. No matter if its on deck or not.

Is this only with TomTom, or when anything is running?

Could try killing all open apps, and doing a SOFT reset. Could be something stuck in memory preventing the settings from sticking.

Hiya all................I have a similar problem with my Acer n35 and TT5. The backlight keeps going on/off each time I touch the screen ,tried the setting all appear to be ok. It only happens when im using TT5 can be a real pain in the butt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am presuming you guys have the latest update??

For the XDA, if you have the O2 software on it, this can also interfere with the tomtom software.
