There can be several reasons why your TomTom is not picking up a satellite signal. Some possible causes include:
1. Cloudy or obstructed sky: If the GPS antenna on your TomTom is unable to have a clear view of the sky, it may struggle to establish a satellite connection. Buildings, trees, tunnels, or even heavy cloud cover can interfere with the signal.
2. Software or firmware issues: Outdated software or firmware can sometimes cause connectivity problems. Make sure your device is running the latest software version available and that it has any necessary updates installed.
3. Weak battery: If the battery of your TomTom is low, it may not have enough power to properly connect to the satellites. Try charging your device to see if that resolves the issue.
4. Incorrect GPS settings: Ensure that the GPS settings on your TomTom are correctly configured. Check if there are any specific settings related to satellite connectivity and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Hardware problems: It's possible that there may be an issue with the GPS antenna or receiver in your TomTom device. If none of the above solutions work, consider contacting TomTom's customer support for further assistance or to inquire about a possible hardware problem.
Remember to also check the user manual or support documentation provided by TomTom for any specific troubleshooting steps related to your device model.

If your TomTom device is not turning on, there are several things you can try to fix the issue:
1. Check the battery: Ensure that the device has enough battery power. Connect it to a power source using the original charger and cable, and leave it for a couple of minutes to see if it starts charging. If the battery is extremely low, it may take a while for the device to turn on.
2. Soft reset: Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds. This will force your TomTom to restart. Once it restarts, release the power button and see if it turns on.
3. Reset using a pin: Locate the small reset hole on the bottom or back of your TomTom device. Insert a thin object like a straightened paperclip or a pin into the hole and press it gently for about 15 seconds. Afterward, try turning on the device again.
4. Update firmware: Connect your TomTom to a computer using a USB cable and install the TomTom Home software. Launch the software and check for any available firmware updates. If there are updates, install them and then disconnect the device. Try turning it on again.
5. Hardware issue: If none of the above steps work, there may be a more significant hardware issue with your device. In this case, it's recommended to contact TomTom customer support or bring it to an authorized service center for further assistance.
Remember to check if your device is covered by any warranty before attempting any repairs on your own.

There are a few ways to determine if your TomTom device is charging:
1. Look for the charging symbol: When you connect your TomTom device to a power source, such as a wall charger or USB port, a charging symbol may appear on the screen. It typically resembles a battery with a lightning bolt or an animated battery icon filling up.
2. Check the battery icon: If your TomTom device has a battery icon on the screen, it may show an animation indicating that it is charging, such as a moving battery level indicator or pulsating icon.
3. LED indicator light: Some TomTom models have a physical LED indicator light on the device itself, usually located near the power/input port. When connected to a power source, this light may glow or change color to indicate charging.
4. Power level increase: If you have your device turned on while it is charging, you can monitor the battery level to see if it is increasing. Navigate to the battery or power status screen on your TomTom device to view the current charge level.
If none of these indicators appear, ensure that you are using a functioning power source and charging cable. Additionally, some TomTom devices may take a few seconds to begin displaying the charging status, so patience is key.
