TomTom ONE Stuck on status (?) screen

[Master.of.Mischief]

Hi all! I've been handed a TT ONE IQ Routes from a friend at work. It's stuck on the following screen (see attached photo). Aparently he was trying to reset it.

I've tried resetting it again whilst on this screen (holding down power button for 15-20 seconds) however it does nothing. I then waited for it to run out of battery and attached it to the computer and it began to update, well started to back up. Then it went back onto this screen again.

Any ideas how to fix?

It won't connect to my PC now. I would have done a scandisk but I can't do it as it won't connect to PC.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think that one needs a pin reset.
Somewhere at the bottom there should be a hole where you can insert a paper clip.

Sorry it's dark. I can't see a reset button anywhere. Unless it's hidden.

Problem solved! I physically opened the device and pulled the battery. Now it's updating! Lets hope it works!

Note: The white on black status screen is displayed when holding the power button down for too long a time -- either an incorrect attempt at a reset or some other reason such as a button that doesn't return to its normal position.

Sorry for the late reply but this isn't the TT ONE that I was referring to Apologies for not making it clearer. But thanks for your assistance
