What do I do with this? It’s stuck here. I’m supposed to be able to connect to WiFi but I can’t even get to that screen. I have tried connecting to a computer with no luck. I have tried resetting by holding in the button on the back I want to do a factory reset hoping that will work but I can’t because I can’t get to the screen. Anyone?

Hi
@TammyS
Welcome to the site....
It looks like Recovery Mode has initialized on your device....
When the device is in Recovery Mode... The device MUST be connected to your PC using the supplied USB Cable with MyDrive Connect running in the background for the Recovery process to complete....
MyDrive Connect must be running on your PC, and be capable displaying as CONNECTED on MyDrive Connect...
Installing MyDrive Connect....
Here... https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360013959499-Installing-MyDrive-Connect
See Tomtom FAQ... Navigation device not starting or displaying a cross....
I think the device is somewhere between bullet-point (7) & (8)
See... https://help.tomtom.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360013959579-Navigation-device-not-starting-or-displaying-a-cross
Once Recovery Mode is initiated, and if a connection to MyDrive Connect has NOT established....
Recovery Mode will continue to attempt to connect to MDC until the Server eventually times-out
Any attempts at a Restart... The device, will continue to display a Splash screen with image of a PC and a Red Cross or a Screen displaying a spinning disc, until Recovery mode can establish a connection to MyDrive Connect or the Server eventually times-out....

I have done recovery several times now but the TomTom doesn’t seem to be able to establish a connection to my drive. It does keep trying but just wont work. I have tried different ports on different computers so assume that’s not the problem. Anything else I can do since there is no phone support right now? Is there another way to do a factory reset without needing the TomTom screen,? And would that help?0

Hi @TammyS
There is not another way to factory reset. You need to contact Customer Support to see if they can help.
There are no phone lines available with many working from home so see this.
