    I want to tell you that your method to open up the Sonicare toothbrush is SO smart. I tried it on a HX 6730. Worked like a charm. No damage to the outer shell. Thank you!!!

    Great tutorial! I got the battery in today for my HX6960. I had already removed the old battery. Took about five minutes works like a champ. I put it on the stand and it indicates battery is charging. FYI I am a fairly experienced solderer as I took advanced soldering in the 1980"s while in the Air Force. I have not used these skills since the early 90's , but like a bike they came back.

    For anyone reading who also has the HX6530 model, in case the end cap doesn't pop out when you squeeze the outer casing, it helps to have a thin, flat, and wide-ish metal tool to gently pry the cap out. In my experience, a small, flat screwdriver was not wide enough to get the cap out, hence the need for the tool to be somewhat wide.
    (I happened to have one of those tools you use to work open glued seams on hard materials like plastics, that looks like a tiny metal spatula on the end, and it worked; the width of the flat end of the tool was about half the radius of the end cap.)

    • @ionicindustries

      Glad you got it open in the end. The spudger you used or a palette knife was a good idea.

    Great tip re the jumper! Solder got removed when removing the battery. Installed new battery and it won't work. After replacing solder on jumper it works just fine!

  • @KingZoneOne

    I have the HX6950. The battery simply snaps in VERY tightly between the two tabs with no need for any de-soldering/soldering. Without removing them, I simply and gently folded the two pins over onto the sides of the battery and inserted it into the holder (pin side facing UP) making sure it snapped in completely. The folded down pins are covered by the rubber pad. DONE.

    Here in New Zealand the Philips service agent told me they were not serviceable, we know better. I used a higher power cell, now lasts longer between charges.

    I just want to give another solution i had right now (or another problem). I didn't find any solution for this on youtube, but it was actually very simple: (Spoiler, the brush didn't charge any more because the charging station was dead, not the battery): Long story:
    My brush started to turn off after 10s working (normally). It made a normal sound while it was turned on (for 10s) and then it did a higher frequency sound and after that, it turned off.
    Then i opened the case like in your video (because i though it's the battery). Then i checked with a multimeter the voltage on this pins you said are plus and minus (didnt soldered off). And the voltage was only 3.0v. So but i was not sure if it's really the battery itselfe or maybe it's sth on the motherboard (but the motherboard and everything else was very clean). But then i remeber, a famaly member had the same brush (which was not in use) so i opened it too and the battery of this device was 3.7v. So then i tried to load the device with de working 3.7v battery on MY charging station but it didnt charge. But it charged with the other charging station. So i took the other device with the 3.0v battery and now it charged with the other charging station.
    So give a try to check the charging station, if you have two. Because mine was (how it seems) dead. New battery would helped nothing.
    btw. i opened the dead charging station, but it's completly filled up with epoxy so you can't fix there anything i think.

    Just took my Sonicare apart. More recent models may have two little clips inside the barrel securing the inner workings to the outside case. Just pinch them inwards (i used a couple of little flat end screwdrivers) and the inside will release out.

    • @ionicindustries
      @ionicindustries  Před 8 lety

      +Joel House Thanks for the info Joel. Is your brush the FlexCare or HealthyWhite? We also found the clips are fitted on the DiamondClean model so have mentioned it on our video for that model:

    • @joelhouse2266

      Not sure, it doesn't say anywhere on the device. There are these numbers on the underside HX3130-A1 130725

    • @ionicindustries
      @ionicindustries  Před 8 lety

      I think that's the PowerUp model. The cap on those can be twisted to undo it rather than squeezing the handle.

    please do a tutorial on the sonicare 2 series battery nihm version! i looked at the manual and it doesn't seem as complicated as this so i hope it's not (but it seems a bit too easy too). im an ultimate noob when it comes to electronics sorry.

  • @brianmcconaghy
    @brianmcconaghy Před 4 lety

    Excellent video thanks, subtitles are better than audio for me. Why does one have to desolder JP1 please?

    • @ionicindustries
      @ionicindustries  Před 4 lety +3

      JP1 is for safety. It disconnects the battery so if you slip when desoldering the battery pins you won't cause a short if the tip of your iron also touches something else.

  • @0uHiroshi
    @0uHiroshi Před 4 lety +2

    The problem with this model is that eventually water will leak into the brush from the brush head gasket and corrode the insides. I always set my brush sideways to avoid this but it'll eventually happen.

    • @ionicindustries
      @ionicindustries  Před 4 lety

      As you suggest, store your brush on its side and also remove the head. This will prevent any water seeping past the seals.

  • @999pr1
    @999pr1 Před 3 lety

    I ran into a problem when trying to replace battery on an HX684A. The cap was extremely difficult to get off, it had to be dug out rather than popping out. When I got it open I found that the transformer? coil at the base of the brush had been disturbed and wires broken to the point where I was unable to restore it to normal. Maybe this unit was too old and stuck together, it acted like the base cap had been glued in. At least I know how these are set up for next time.

    • @RobertLugg
      @RobertLugg Před 2 lety

      Instead of the "clamp" idea, I used a larger flat-head screwdriver and turned the base like a screw, but only about 1/8 a turn back and forth with a slight levering to pull it out. This combined with a light clamping mentioned in the video may work better.

  • @apurvdash7360
    @apurvdash7360 Před 4 lety

    I did the whole procedure of battery replacement but forgot to desolder and solder the JP1. Now the toothbrush shows that its charging but it isn't charging indeed. Can you suggest what I can do to solve the issue.

    • @ionicindustries
      @ionicindustries  Před 4 lety

      Check your soldering of the battery connections and also check the PCB for corrosion in case this was the initial fault.

    • @apurvdash7360
      @apurvdash7360 Před 4 lety

      Ionic Industries I measured the voltage across the battery connection solder during when the battery was disconnected and it was 8.4 V, I don’t what went wrong, it is supposed to be 4.2 V I think.

    • @ionicindustries
      @ionicindustries  Před 4 lety +1

      @@apurvdash7360 8.4V is too high. Make sure you have fitted a single 3.7V Li-ion battery. These charge up to 4.2V when full.

    • @apurvdash7360
      @apurvdash7360 Před 4 lety

      Ionic Industries yes the battery wasn’t charging so I took out the battery and measured the voltage across the terminals when the Sonicare was standing on the charging station and it measured 8,4 V, I don’t know what’s wrong with the power circuit board.

    you lost me at soldering points. looks like i'm getting a new toothbrush

  • @PNZTX
    @PNZTX Před 3 lety

    If you are an advanced electronics engineer with the technical experience and required equipment to accomplish this task - then yes, it's a workable solution. However, this is NOWHERE close to a DIY project. Especially for the novice who has only beginners soldiering tools. Save your money on the new battery and simply buy a new toothbrush. Again, advanced engineering type, you are in good shape!

    • @ionicindustries
      @ionicindustries  Před 3 lety +5

      The battery can be changed using a basic 18W to 25W soldering iron and a spring-loaded desoldering pump. Only basic soldering skills are required and the repair is the same level as a school project.

    • @jjpaq
      @jjpaq Před 3 lety +1

      "Advanced engineering" made me laugh. Clearly you've never soldered anything or you'd realize it's a skill that can be taught to Grade 3 students.

    • @RobertLugg
      @RobertLugg Před 2 lety

      You have a good point in that it is a "next-level-up" skill beyond disassembly and reassembly. However, as others have said it is very possible for most people. In fact, most repair of anything is possible by the end user...its just a trade off between your time (which is valuable) and cost of a new device. In my case, my toothbrush costs $75 bucks and I already have a rarely used soldering iron.

      @jjpaq Před 3 lety

      Anything to reduce e-waste.
      At the very least, if you're buying a new toothbrush rather than a $15 soldering kit, don't buy one from a manufacturer who won't "let" users replace batteries in their own devices.

    This is utterly ridiculous. Special instructions? Special battery I have to purchase online? A soldering iron? Difficult, complicated instructions? An easy way to drive people away from your product. Useless complication.

  • @john26hanson
    @john26hanson Před 6 lety

    whatever happened in explaining in voice what you are doing and showing in detail what you are doing. Since there was no audio expaining what you were doing, I dozed off, so I still don't know how to do it. Besides, why doesn't someone come up with a way to attach the battery without sodering, make it so it just plugs in and it is good to go.
