Have an early one, and the battery doesn't last for long. Before I even
bother trying to get inside it, can they be replaced?

Dunno - but is it really a problem? Presumably you run it off the car's
12v system. Have you got a mains adaptor to use when doing off-line
route planning?

I'd not be asking if it wasn't a problem.

They can be replaced by tomtom, I had one done under warranty.
I don't know what size it is to see if they are on ebay.
IIRC you need a torx screwdriver to take the back off before you can unplug
the battery pack.

I use a maplin usb battery pack to power mine as frequent stops and turning
the engine on and off doesn't do the batteries much good.

I have heard that the guys at TomTom are very good at replacing units FOC
when they are returned for service.

They did with mine, but I had the receipt after 3 or 4 years.

I have used your 'noise' email address to send you instructions on how I
changed mine.
Mail me back after removing your hat if you don't get it.
