You are looking for problems. Replace the battery, then you will know if it is enough, and it will be enough.

The battery has been replaced but the problem is still the same

E8600 · Answer

It was to be expected. In the first photo you have posted you can clearly see the Rx, TX, etc. service fields. After that, it can be concluded that any chip (probably Q1) is programmable. It probably has a protection for the number of inclusions or it locks when the battery is excessively discharged / used.
This is a kind of protection for the manufacturer not to repair, but to buy new ones.

What can you do then?

E8600 · Answer

Maybe a colleague try to unsolder the JP1 service jumper. Here you have instructions in which order to replace the battery. However, I'm afraid that now it may be too late and the memory dump may be erased. Still, it's worth a try.

dodger2018 · Answer

It had no effect. Is the case pending or something else that can be done?

E8600 · Answer

Have you desoldered and soldered? The toothbrush shows any signs of life? Probably to fix it you would have to look for the batch and try to program it again.

And so we moved from the teeth to the electronics, wash the entire plate very thoroughly with an ordinary toothbrush and dishwashing liquid. Of course, diluted later with a few blows, there would be nothing left and drying on the radiator for 12 hours. I do not give a guarantee, but I know that when washing, something will always pass.

I have corrected TONI_2003

dodger2018 · Answer

I did according to the video. However, now only the green LED is on. No vibration.

E8600 · Answer

Apparently, during the first replacement of the battery itself without unsoldering the jumper, the program stored in the system was deleted / damaged. Without a programmer and a batch, you won't do anything about it now. Such jumpers are a protection, sometimes they need to be soldered before they can be replaced, another time they need to be desoldered. If you have a programmer, the batch can be obtained on Russian websites.

Yes for posterity. On the HX6932, the battery can be replaced normally.
As for the brush itself, it is a German dud with a deliberate design that makes the product anti-aging, although the functionality itself can be assessed as one of the best on the market.

If there is sediment and rust, it means that the brush was not tight. Wash the plate with isopropanol, then check the paths with a meter for continuity. Some can be eaten by the moisture.

Hi,

I also have a brush, which of course broke after the warranty expired: /
I already thought the toothbrush should be thrown away, but here I can see that it may be repairable

Can you recommend someone to take care of it, preferably from Warsaw?

greetings

Piotr2608 · Answer

It did not broke after the warranty expired only it ran out or exhausted, the battery charge amount limit. These france don't like to be brought to death. As we can already see the drastic decrease in working time, we should already replace the battery. Second, such brushes are only charged when the charge level is close to zero. My Philips has been working on the original battery for 4 years, if not 5 years. The charger is disconnected from the socket.

iza_k · Answer

Thanks for the answer. Can such a battery be replaced then? They say on the website that there are no spare parts and therefore the brush can be thrown away (mine was charged only when it started to rain, and I connected the charger to the power supply, only for charging)

Piotr2608 · Answer

The battery can always be replaced, the question is whether the electronics will allow the battery to be replaced and whether it will not be like in the post by the author of the topic.

Hi,
As I can see, the problem does not only concern my and my wife's toothbrush. Both brushes bought about 3.5 years ago. The first one broke down after about 14 months, the second one after 22 months. The symptoms are: Cannot be turned on, after prolonged charging, it vibrates regularly for up to 10 minutes without the possibility of turning off (it turns off the vibration again reconnecting to the charger), etc. Sent under warranty, both returned replaced with a new one. One of the brushes, after more than a year, broke again, the symptoms as above. Well, this time I ordered another one from the store with an extended warranty. The product itself is amazing, I did not notice any deterioration of the battery's durability, I charged it myself, I do not know how often, every few weeks, and I use it twice a day.

greetings
