Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your TomTom GO Live 1535M GPS has a cracked, unresponsive, or malfunctioning display, this guide will show you how to replace the screen.
The screen on the TomTom GO Live 1535M displays navigation routes, menus, and real-time traffic updates, and it responds to touch inputs to control the device. A damaged screen can result in symptoms such as a blank display, visible cracks, dead pixels, or loss of touchscreen functionality. Please check out the TomTom GO Live 1535M Troubleshooting Guide before taking the device apart to ensure you are following the correct repair procedure.
Before beginning this repair, power off the device completely and disconnect it from any external power source. If the screen is shattered or broken, use caution to avoid any injuries from broken glass.

I just replaced the screen. But with the cable ribbon installed the screen does not activate. The startup tom-tom sound does play. The screen is blank. But the old screen does not work as well. Prior to this the screen did work but was un responsive. Any thoughts?
