Ebay maybe your best bet if you can't get it fixed local. David.

Have you tried a reset, you will need a pin on most units.
Failing that sometimes holding down the on button for a while puts them into service mode and you can probably reset it from that.
I did this on my garmin once.

Google how to reset a tom tom etc.....


Try connecting the unit to a lap top/computer and search the memory of the device from the computer.
This will also charge the unit if your original charger is faulty.
Worth a try...
