plugged it into car today dead/nothing, plugged it into computer after starting connect, again nothing-says no device connected, so cannot charge the battery which I assume is flat
Either a new unit or you can have a look on Youtube and look at videos showing how to replace a battery in a Tomtom unit. Batteries available from Ebay.

Probably is a dead (or dying) battery BUT you can connect the device to the computer for about three hours to see if the battery gets charged since the device does not have to be on for charging.
Then, try a drum reset on the unit by holding the power button about 20 seconds till you hear the drum sounds.

Were you using Sleep Mode (Device in regular use)...The device is ticking over in the background) Or Turned off Mode (Infrequent Use)... Press the off button until the Power Menu displays --> Select Turn off...
Lithium battery's should always be properly maintained, one of the worst things you can do to a Lithium Battery is to store it in a discharged state
