My Tom Tom xl won't come on shows green charging light but no sign of display or any sounds . It's 4-5 years old if anyone knows who does cheap repairs let me know . I quite like it but if it's not cheap to repair I'll probably get a new one .

Try stack charging it it's a pain takes like 10 minutes but is a common fault with a lot of things like tablets and sat navs just plug the charger in and out every 10 seconds for like 5-20 minutes it will boost the charge so the screen should have enough power to kick in if it's a fault with the battery being dead

Press and hold the power button for up to 60 seconds.

That should reset it

Have ypu tried the reset button on the bottom? You will need to use a paperclip.
