My daughter's Tomtom Start has gone on the blink after a software update. It now no longer finds any satellites (and yes, it has been left for over an hour outside).
We've tried a soft reset via the on screen menu and also a hard reset via the hidden reset button. We've tried re-installing the software updates but that hasn't worked either. There doesn't seem to be any way of "rolling back" the software as my daughter has never done any back-ups in the past.
We've getting to the stage of returning it to Tomtom but I wonder if anyone knows any other ways of restoring its functionality? It just seems odd that it was working fine until the software update and then stopped working. I feel there ought to be some easy way of sorting this out.

I arrived at the scene of a head-on crash on a country road on Friday
evening (fortunately no one injured, which was amazing seeing the state
of the car after smashing into a large van). I was dealing with the
young couple who had been in the car, who were mentally very shaken up.
As other drivers arrived, they were trying to identify where we were on
their tomtoms to tell the police, but none of the tomtoms would work in
the low temperature. Eventually I went and got my Garmin out, and that
worked OK. (Other than that, I would say I'm deeply unimpressed with
the Garmin and wouldn't buy another one or even spend money on updated
maps.)
