I need to get inside my TomTom ONE (original version).


I'm intrigued, why?


To repair it. It charges intermittently. Giving it a thump restores
charging,
the green LED on the top remains lit regardless so its definitely internal.
A dry-joint, or lose earthling screw maybe, I am sure I will find it when I
get inside the case.


Can some one tell me what size hex pin-head security screws it uses,
and where the best place to buy a tool?


Are you sure that it's not a star?


No, its like an alan key type head with a central spigot. Not a Torx etc.


"Tamper proof hex" are normally imperial sizes and a quite common. Bits
are easily available in a kit, but on the larger sizes you can often
remove the pip with a dremel. That sort of thing aren't too bad, what
_really_ evil is counterbored 1-way clutch screws (managed to get one
out of a canon charger recently though).


Got to ask how?

Thanks
Adam
