You may have to reset factory settings. First try a software reset.

Have you got the latest official version of navcore on it ? Not sure what it is, but use Tomtom Home to update it.
If you are using any copied maps it will require patching & then the map activating.

thanks russell , i have been on tom tom siteand update what i can as its just over 1 year old so we dont get free updates now . wife updates tom tom usually and all maps have been d/loaded off tt site so dont think any will have been patched maps ( though im not sure what patch maps are) . version is 2.7.3.1894 is that the navcore you mentioned.
i was thinking of trying to update maps and cameras myself now that its over a year old , is it easy to do ? ive had a read and you say i will need to save info thats already on tt , does that mean applications , safety cameras , quick gps fix data etc as these are already on my pc (must have been saved by wife ) thanks for your help

You get the Navcore updated free from Tomtom Should be version 8.*** & you'll find a few maps on here. Easy enough to do them all, just have a look at the guide I've posted on here.

[davemaden]

navcore is 8.351 OS is 315187 GPS is V1.20 and maps on it are uk and rep of ire v 705.1480 am i up to date with these . i have d/loaded alberts keygen and if i put your newew updates on is it possible i may get daytime colours back . thanks again

[Russell1]

Navcore sounds about right - use Tomtom home to check to see if you get any updates. Then you can use the v840.2562 map once you have patched the Navcore & then activated the map.
Don't know if it will fix your problem though, but it's worth trying.

[davemaden]

thanks , how do i back up everything to pc ? do i do this using tt home ? thanks

davemaden.
I don't know your Tom Tom but it isn't something daft like a daylight sensor blocked ?
I have a TT Go 510 and I believe there is a light sensor on it .
As always I stand to be corrected.

Yes you can do it that way, but I prefer to use Windows Explorer and copy entire contents to a folder on the PC.

[davemaden]

ok ive d/loaded BBS tools v 1.0.21 and i think i have patched the navcore ( how can you tell?) . i think i now have to erase all contents of device , i need to know how to do this , also do i need to download jdownloader ? or is this only for maps in a dlc file as the maps i have are in dat file , should these go straight on device . thanks for your help

[davemaden]

have printed instructions off and tried to follow them but im stuck as my last post above. please help

[Russell1]

I'm on holiday at moment Dave, so not got access to be able to help much.
If you delete everything (can use windows explorer do do this) you will have to re-load everything & patch Navcore again & re-activate the map.
Jdownloader is just for downloading dlc files - try getting the UK v840 map I've posted on the forum if you have a problem downloading it.

davemaden.
Did you get anywhere with this problem --- would be interesting to know?
Regards

[davemaden]

no still on night colours. i think i patched it ok but dont know how to erase everything and am frightened i may not be able to put any maps on even if i could erase data. its still working as a sat nav even though ive patched it . thanks

[davemaden]
