Disassembling Braun Oral-B Vitality D12.013 Toothbrush: Step-by-Step Guide

Question

Hello. I have a Braun oral-b vitality D12.013 toothbrush and I would like to disassemble it so as not to damage it. And how to do it, because I have absolutely no idea how to do it.

Please answer fast because I need to fix it. Thanks in advance.

There is a cork at the bottom. The manufacturer provides in the instructions how to disassemble a used toothbrush in order to separate the battery - insert the edge of the charger into the cut and twist.
In this case, often/usually the wires from the coil in the plug break, but if you do it really gently (and twist as little as possible just to pry and pull out this plug) it may work.

You take off the replacement brush, turn it over so that the part with the stopper is at the top and hit it while holding the whole brush to hit something hard with this protruding element for attaching the tips. The body will stay in your hand and the mechanism will come out.

In how many pieces?

kkknc · Answer

In one way, from the instructions. This is how I replace the batteries in mine.

And isn't this a way (as in my instructions) for the final disassembly of the brush? Because while turning the cork is still quite delicate, hitting the flimsy frame that is inside seems risky to me. But if you're bragging, I'm not arguing.

So there is no completely safe way?! It's hard, but thanks for the answers.

Look at it from the front at the bottom about a centimeter from the base there should be a visible pin with a diameter of about 1.5 mm. Don't put it in too deep and it will be easier to knock out. I took mine apart like this. I bought the battery at TEM

I don't need to replace the battery. Once I damaged this pin (I made a small hole with a needle, I don't know why) and water got inside through this small hole because something is splashing there. But a moment ago I saw that the toothbrush works but after pressing the button you have to wait about a minute before it turns on (this is right after removing it from the charger) but if I turn it on and off and immediately after that I turn it on again, it turns on normally. The charger is doing some reset or something.

kkknc · Answer

Strip, wash, dry. Seal the hole with a glue gun.

movzx · Answer

Check for advanced galvanic corrosion on traces and other components. Moisture will always get in, so in this case you would have to think about protecting such worn places with tile varnish.

zubryk111 · Answer

But probably the paths should be protected with varnish at the factory. And there's no place on my cork to hook over the edge of the charger. These wires from the coil, if they break, you can solder them somehow :?:

They couldn't do it with screws

movzx · Answer

So this is the version as written kknc and must be pushed out through the pin from above. That's right, but water (with various contaminants) plus voltage = very aggressive environment. Well, no kidding.
