TomTom Go 620 (AU Model) Battery Dead?

Hi,

My TomTom Go 620 Aussie model is about 2 years old and the battery is dead, so therefore I need to replace the battery. I have found the battery replacement video on YT for this model, but it’s the US model which has a couple of screws at the back of the GPS to be screwed out. On my Aussie model, there are no visible screws that I can find anywhere? The only thing I can find is what looks like a pry slot on the bottom of the GPS between the screen and the main body. Any help or ideas would be appreciated?

Cheers,

John

Hi @johnmw1 ,

Here’s a video that should help.

Unfortunately the Ifixit Australian store doesn’t have any appropriate pry tools in stock.

If you’re prepared to wait on shipping then the USA store does have the iFixit Opening Tool available

Search online for VF6S battery to find suppliers of the battery that suit you best.

Hi Jayeff,

Thanks for that answer, it makes everything all the more clearer knowing I don't have to be looking for hidden screws. Not sure why I never found that video, as I searched high and low but it never came up in my search? Yes I will have to wait for the Ifixit opening tool, but could get it if I buy the https://australia.ifixit.com/products/es... which could come in handy for other stuff.

Cheers,

John

Hi guys, I have the same problem... just ordered a toolkit from John's link (https://australia.ifixit.com/products/es...) and hope to proceed soon. Already had battery, but unable to get in to GPS. Have been using gps by remembering to turn off, a real pain, but now it won't even boot when powered on, so gotta change battery. Cheers, Frank.

Brilliant, thanks

Just an update to my original issue: I purchased a new battery, but the TomTom still would not boot up. It was stuck in an endless loop of trying to start, but it just would not. All I could see was the spinning wheel and nothing else. It has been on my desk for about 3 years. :-)

Cheers,

John
