Thanks Ditte but as I said, following all the negative comments I have read about people trying to deal with dead batteries with TomTom service and the fact that I only use it in the car when connected, I have no desire to try to fix this 18+ month problem. Given the incredible amount of problems that the Go1000 had on it's debut in Australia with an extensive delay on maps etc, I find it almost amusing that all this time later there are so few, if any, positive comments on the Go1000 on these forums. Also as I said once this has finally annoyed me enough I will GO Garmin.
P.S. I have just found that your spell checker thinks GO100 is **bleep**;s and does not know the word Garmin - says alot does it not.
