Hi, my Go 600 has suddenly stopped charging. I thought it was the official Tomtom car charger and USB cable, so replaced those with another official set. Still no joy, so tried connecting it to my PC on a USB cable that always works to do the updates on MyDrive Connect. I turn the unit on, and the red battery warning shows and the unit closes down.
The unit is 4FA60 4FA6.001.06.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks, John

Hi @JohnOrrett
Sounds like a battery failure.
You can get replacement batteries form Fleabay and if you search youtube for Replace battery on Go 6000 you can see videos on how to do it..

I have a brand new One battery and wondering whether it will be suitable.
600 unit is 3.7v 1100mAh. One is 3.7v 1300mAh
600 is 4.07Wh. One is 4.8 Wh.
Both have a 3 wire connector block. Not sure if the differences would kill my 600.
Any advice appreciated0 -

Same thing happened to my GO 600. I bought a replacement battery package from Walmart. It comes with a tool and instructions. Its as good as new after then.

Thanks for the advice down_under. Unfortunately it looks like the circuit board has short circuited, as there is a burn mark on the board0
