Answer 2

I had this problem only last week with my TomTom One XL. I assume that you are referring to the in-car charger in which case his problem could be the same as mine, ie. a blown fuse on the cigar-lighter circuit.If this has not been checked then check it. My car (Almera) has a 15 amp fuse but I replaced it with a 20 amp fuse from the spares supplied in the fuse box.  If this is not the case then any of the large supermarkets (Leclerc, SuperU, Carrefour, etc.) will stock in-car chargers in ther motoring section.  Incidentally, my phone's in-car charger is identical to my Tomtom's so I checked by plugging that one into the cigar lighter to see whether it was the charger or the circuit that was duff.

Answer 3

Go to any large edge of town hypermarket (signposted centre commercial) eg L'Eclerc, Auchaun, Carrefour, Giant, Intermarche, or SuperU and there is often a associate car spares / tyres type shop.  Its worth checking the fuse in the charger and cigarette lighter before buying a new charger
