That's not good. You failed to answer my questions/question.

no to clear flash, by reset you mean holding down the power button, if so yes and i just get the tom tom boot up screen

[font=ZurichWGL4BT]To hard reset your ONE XL, use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to push in for 30 seconds, the reset button, which is in a small hole next to the memory card slot on the
bottom of your ONE XL.

Reset your device XL 330
Press and hold the On/Off button until your device restarts. This can take more than 30 seconds.

The pic is showing 100& usage with 0 bytes. Just for grins, run "Error Checking" under the Tools tab in the pic.

I hope the seller has a money back policy. If not & the internal memory can't be repaired/replaced, looks like you have an expensive paperweight.
There are several lessons here to be learned by all.

i knew it was been sold as not working and figured it was software issue, but didnt pay that much so i may try to get a new HD for it if its possible, if not ill put it back on for spare parts only screen is ok etc etc

found this for a tt1 take it , that it will proberbly be the same for the xl
