has it got an off switch at the back ? leave it off for a while
try holding the power button down
dont know to much about these models
While charging in the car or through the usb port, the green light goes on, so it is charging. But it won't start by pressing the power button. It's just dead, tried resetting it also.

How about you give us the full story first ?
I know for a fact that these devices not just die...
You must have done something that caused the problem.
Tomtom GO730 ,Navcore 9.004 ,Bootloader 5.5256 ,Map :Australia 845.2661ttmaps and Tomplayer on 16GB SDHC class6Password for all my files: downunder
it hava a reset button on the it, but it only work when the tomtom is turn on
hang on.... im going to take another guess and try and figure this out...
did you leave it in your car and let the sunlight/heat destroy the internal battery or electronic componants ?
try pressing and holding the reset button while also holding down the power button for 30 seconds release both buttons then try and power up unit again useing power button make sure the unit has a decent charge first
IF IT DONT WORK USE A BIGGER HAMMER
the unit is in the car all the time, winter and sunmer.
never turn off!
holding down the power button and reset button for 30 seconds did not work!
this unit have this problem 3 times, when i use the car charge, power on the unit turn off, and never turn on, but before it happens, usb charge is working.
sorry about the english, i try my best!
i try my best to explain that you need a new unit... not worth fixing buddy...
So again : a Tomtom does not just die.
I suggest you connect it to the PC ,push the reset button and after that the start button - the unit shoud now connect straight away to the PC.
If not you only have two options :
1. use it as a paper weight
2. give it to a certified repair center - might not be woth it as for the cost of the repair you most likely get a secong hand GO720 off Ebay.

i have fix it now~
and find the problem is!!
the pc dock make the unit brick!
need to disconnect the battery and connect back, it will come back life!
good work.
i was going to suggest to get out the battery but i was not farmiliar with the model as to wether you can or not ?
Sorry mate to dissapoint you. I doubt you fixed the problem. It is apparently known issue with 720 and 730 (not all of them). Mine mewly acquired Go 730 is on the list unfortunately as I just found out .
The unit does lock up from the USB dock more often, but it also goes dead from nothing (in the car for example).
Some people reckon new Navcore versions fixed the problem, so if you have old version I suggest you to upgrade it ASAP. I just upgraded to 9.004 and will monitor the issue.
So far I managed to bring it back to life by pressing and holding reset button with simultaneously pushing power button for few seconds. That helped me few times already.
Good luck.
