Tom Tom broke
After about a year and a week, my tom tom won't switch on 
Is it scrap or can I open it up and replace the battery or something?
TIA
Cheers
Mark

what is there to lose?
You can get the lithium battery packs easily off the web, just type the battery model number into Google. Has to be the same rating or the battery
capacity indicator will most likely get confused.

There's a hardware reset button that'll probably force it back into working again.
My reset is on the bottom near the connection plate.

Check your mains charger fuse and plug it in and do a reset
