Auto switch on GO 530

Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:01 pm

Just noticed a weird thing with my 530 sometimes it switches on automatically when not being used
this is the copy after running tt currentconfig

The first is the sd card with truck map and navcore
the second is Iberia and uk & roi with 9.430 navcore all maps etc are working ok but i cant see UK map on second config ? I usually boot it up with the sd card plugged in.

1. tt currentconfig will only show the active map on the CurrentMap & CurrentMapVersion lines.
2. What do you get if you boot without the card.

My bad!! I meant, What do you get if you boot without the card, in reference to "but i cant see UK map on second config".

Ok, so we can disregard the "but i cant see UK map on second config" issue & work on the AutoStart issue.

Sometimes it turns back on almost instantly other times it can take 1/2 hr

That indicates to me that there is a problem writing the watchdog file at shutdown,
do a hard reset followed by 3x the TT clear flash tool.
If still no joy try a clean install on an empty device.

Thank you.
