Braun professional care 1000 user manual

Any suggestion? After 2 days and the red light coming on, can you try the second charge trick? When using the Braun battery replacement instructions — they are excellent by the way — I noticed one little remark that needs to be added.

That is, when trimming down the replacement battery tab to make it narrower, you should use scissors. Just keep that in mind on the tabs for the replacement battery. I just replaced both of ours and they now work just fine. Better than buying new toothbrushes, ha? Did the replacement regarding the instruction. Great thing! Unfortunately, the pressure warning light is shining all the time if the brush is on.

I removed the desoldered the pressure warning switch and turned the brush on, no change. One thing: if desoldering the wires for the pressure warning light, the wire is melting the plastic where it is winded up.

Sorry for spaming. Now I know — after desoldering the wires for the pressure light, that if the right wire is soldered on, the pressure warning light is shining constantly for orientation: coil on the right side and brush is lying horizontally in front of me. But I did not change anything on the PCB, and the wires are not touching anything. So what is the problem? Could you please help. After desoldering the whole part and looking for the failure, I come to the conclusion, that the pressure warning switch contact must be short circuited with the battery plus pole.

It must be under constant voltage and there must be a short circuit. I could not fix it so I did not apply it again. It is not so important for me to have the pressure light working, but okay, it would be complete with it.

It works without it as well…. Hi Hanno, Glad to hear you found what was causing the problem. Yes the pressure sensing switch is connected to the PCB very close to the positive solder tag from the battery so these can easily touch each other.

Make sure the battery tag has been narrowed and folds closely around the edge of the PCB. Just wanted to say thanks for the clear guide, and all went very smoothly, including the upgrade to a higher capacity battery. I think the thing I enjoyed most other than restoring my toothbrush to working order was the feeling of fighting back against that damned planned obsolescence!

Clear instructions. I got the longer battery and modified the plastic cage. The new battery however will not charge, no green charging light.

It was charging the old battery previously so I am not sure what happened. The new battery had enough power to run the motor so I know the batter was soldered on properly. Have a look through our toothbrush battery problem solving tips. Excellent and clear instructions, both visually and written step by step.

I completed the upgrade to the larger capacity battery. As mentioned by previous DIYers, watch for excessive heat on the plastic tabs holding the coil and pressure switch, they melt rather easily, but on reassembly even with slight damage you can manage to fit and solder effectively without any shorts.

Another brush saved! Excellent instructions, thank you. I found it a bit fiddly but I did the upgrade to larger battery and it all worked first time. Great stuff. A brilliant, clear set of instructions that made the job very easy to complete. Everything back in working order, great and thanks for the suggestion to replace with a bigger battery, much better than the original.

Well done. Molto bello, spiegato bene, complimenti. Ma dopo aver seguito le istruzioni passo passo , ed aver rimontato il tutto non si accende la luce della ricarica.

Thanks Maximilian. If the charging light is not illuminating please read the help available on our support page. Thank you for this great guide! There was some water inside and the board was little corroded so I assumed I broke it completely during cleaning or soldering. I started to accept the fact I would need to buy a new toothbrush anyway but decided to give it a try and left it on the changer over night.

And guess what? After few hours on the charger without any sign of life it started blinking! I followed the guide and replaced with a larger battery. My 1st time trying to fix a gadget, helped by a friend with a solder iron. We had one snag, the two copper wires on the side broke but I think they were long enough to solder back on. It charges and turns on but the pressure sensor light is always on. If the pressure sensor light is permanently on there is probably a short circuit somewhere.

You can always remove the pressure switch and see if the brush works correctly without the switch plate installed. An updated tip on this issue — if the pressure sensor light is stuck on then the pressure sensor switch is either not connected or not clipped onto the toothbrush assembly correctly at the head end.

To me there seems only one way to connect the pressure sensor. I have a problem where the pressure light is on all the time. Can not see any short circuit. There could be a short under the PCB but this is unlikely. With the pressure switch removed the light will stay on all the time, so check that the top end of the pressure switch is clipped correctly in place.

Alternatively, you can remove the pressure switch and just live with the light being on when the brush is running. Superb, clear instructions. A bit on the fiddly side to do but well worth the effort. I took the plunge and decided to go for the larger battery but had no difficulties at all.

Many thanks for your guide. I just reassembled my toothbrush after following your instructions. I had to modify the battery holder as I bought a longer battery and it worked like a charm. The brush is now in the charger and it is blinking green.

So far so good eh? Thanks for a very nice guide. Regards from Sweden. Great instructions. Also, the red light flashes the one that indicates the battery needs recharging after every use even though the battery seems fully charged. There is probably a reciprocating arm that has been disconnected from a cam. Regarding the red light, once the battery is fully run down and recharged the internal battery-meter should re-sync and this will stop happening. I see a strange phenomenon with my toothbrush: When the brush is switched off the pressure sensor warning light flashes every 3seconds for about half a second.

When switched on the tootbrush works fine. Even the pressure sensor seem to work: The light flashes when a certain pressure is detected and is permanently on when the pressure get even higher. Hi, thanks very much for your great instructions. I was just wondering what the spring in the base of the toothbrush is for.

Is it just intended to support the battery and therefore is not really vital or does it serve another purpose? Thanks for the help. The spring seems to hold all the inner workings up against the top of the outer handle, not just the battery. Then re-fit the spring and use a small spot of superglue on just the plastic tab of the clip to keep the base shut.

No need to go glueing around the seal. If you use a small enough amount the base can still be removed next time you want to replace the battery. Wow, thanx a million! That was the best of instructions. I now have an almost new toothbrush with an elongated battery life! Thanx again! Thanks for the information on this site. I have replaced batteries in a previous generation of Braun toothbrushes but there are enough differences for this site to be really useful.

My only query is why unsolder the coil? I did not bother and had no problem replacing the battery. Great, made it look so simple and it was. Very informative and with precise instructions took me just 20 minutes. Are the bends required to hold something in place?

Hi Daniel, This is a reliability factor — the bends in the solder tags are to prevent the vibration of the toothbrush from breaking the solder joints or lifting the solder pad off the PCB. Cheers, the tags on my battery were long enough, even with the bends so I am happy I kept the bends.

It is nice to know what they were for. The only fiddly part of the guide was avoiding melting the plastic posts on the pressure warning light cradle. I lost one but the other was fine. It went back together properly anyway. The hot water tip was good and saved my base clip. Couple of other observations: 1 The PCB in the Braun is of highest quality, in the sense that it would be difficult but not impossible to delaminate the traces by overheating with a soldering iron.

That said, I would still recommend a temperature-controlled soldering station, a justifiable investment for all electronics repair. Thanks for the interesting measurements Robert! Good morning.

Thankfully, the base lugs have remained intact through both disassemblies, and the repaired toothbrush is now on charge as I write. Thank you for the instructions. They are superb. Brilliant instructions however the flashing Red Battery Flat is flashing, but no green charge light when plugged in. Any top tips as it all seems to have been reconnected in the reverse of the deconnection sequence.

Check the fine copper wires from the charging coil inside the toothbrush. These can easily break. Brilliantly clear and comprehensive instructions.

Another successful upgrade completed here. Thank you for guide. My toothbrush is working excellent again. Even better with bigger battery. It was quite easy. Thanks for the guide. I replaced the battery a few years ago with the larger type and it worked well. This is the 2nd replacement battery I have installed, but now after 12 hours charging green charging light is flashing OK , the motor does not operate with a push of the button.

I have checked the soldered joints and they appear OK. Any ideas, please? Many thanks in advance. Hi Jon, when you press the button do you get a red flashing light? Have a look through our troubleshooting tips here. Thanks for your reply. Sorry for late reply. It had 1. Thanks again for an excellent site and for the help given. Really useful guide to a straightforward battery change.

Thanks very much guys and girls. Today I did the second of the pair and this one appears to be working fine. On the one not working, it appears to charge correctly with the flashing green light. When you press the power button, you can hear and feel the motor try to start for one brief surge, but then nothing else but a flashing red light. Could the gearbox be jammed with debris? Also run through the checks on our Customer Support page. The voltage of the battery measures over 1.

I also applied a charged AA battery with leads to the two terminals of the motor and it ran fine while connected that way. Something could have moved or got damaged when soldering in the new battery. The electronics should now let you press the power button on the PCB and it will power up the motor.

Worked perfectly, thanks very much — I modified the battery case and went for the larger version of the battery. My only suggestion re your instructions would be to tell the erstwhile repairer not to worry about the plastic lugs at the end of the wires from the coil — nothing needs doing re these!

I was stumped for awhile… So satisfying to renew this battery. Imho, NOTHING that is battery-powered should have a design that requires an extensive teardown in order to replace the battery, be they toothbrushes, mobile phones, laptops…. Great to hear about your repair Steven, and thanks for the tip about the plastic lugs at the ends of the coil wires.

Good point about the repairability of battery-powered devices. Has anyone ever opened the metal frame that holds the motor and cam drive assembly? I replaced the battery and the battery indicator blinks green when charging.

But the pressure sensor keeps blinking red every 3 seconds when the toothbrush is off. Do you know what causes this? There could be a short circuit somewhere on the PCB caused by a stray blob or whisker of solder. You can also try desoldering and removing the pressure sensor switch plate — the red LED should then stay on when running but stay off when the brush is off.

It did not blink in sync. I desolderd the pressure sensor, but it kept blinking when brush was off. It sounds like there is a short circuit somewhere, possibly at the side of the PCB where the super-fine wires terminate, the ones that run to the LED near the shaft.

The melted plastic near the charging coil is not a problem, but both coil wires must be soldered to the PCB and there cannot be any breaks between the solder points and the coil itself. Thanks for the help! I re-soldered all connections and the toothbrush did charge but the pressure light is blinking again.

Hi Ionic, Thanks for the very clear instructions, job done after initial trepidation but I worked through it and felt great satisfaction afterwards.

Would have preferred 1 a specific instruction to say that the battery positive terminal must be towards the motor, 2 before reassembly, a note about careful cleaning of all the joints, 3 If the rubber cover was damaged during disassembly say around the front ring provided this has been cleaned and dried before reassembly, a small amount of white silicone sealant could be used at both ends of the cover to prevent water entry.

Hello sir, i manage to change the battery to oral-b pro , and thank you for all these clear instruction but…it seems the problem is not the battery but motor, after the replacement all works perfecty but motor power is week and sometime it stall, i measure the current and i think is very big about 1.

The resistence of motor in dc is only 0. There could be some debris rubbing inside the gearbox, or the frame might be twisted slightly. The current is likely to be over 1 amp with the head attached. How does it run with the inner mechanism removed from the outer casing?

Are you able to put a drop of oil on the motor bearings? I did as instructed, however as soon as I put the brush to charge, there is a permanent flashing of the red light on it the battery indicator even after waiting more than an hour.

Read through our troubleshooting tips and see what you find. I have read your excellent instructions on the toothbrush. Can I reassemble my toothbrush without the pressure warning switch or pressure warning light? I like to keep things simple as I am not very experienced in soldering. Thanks again for the wonderful site! You can use a different double-A battery that has solder tags welded on if you can get them easily at your local shop.
