Exceptionally well done video series. Just really superb - thank you! I was about to throw out our third Diamondcare Sonic toothbrush. Never again. Even if I can’t repair it, I’ll keep it for spare parts for the next one.

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

Thanks! Yes it's always good idea to have some spares or from two broken ones make one working :) and they are quite fixable ;) so don't let ypur hands down!

@teodorvranchev5788 Год назад

Bro how rich are you to just throw away diamondcares like nothing?

@jarze0x63 4 года назад

Thanks a lot for your movies! Your instructions allowed me to fix my toothbrush which I was sure was already trash. I dropped it on the head and the pin became very loose - the vibrations didn't transfer to it. I was sure it broke mechanically. After opening it I saw the metal bit was intact and just the screw holding it got loose. I tightened it up and saved the price of a new tooth brush I almost bought :D.

@letsfixitgarage 4 года назад

@mtb-schrauber6053 Год назад

Great work you doin. Im just tryin to repair two HX9340 mainboards. One was smokin at the transistor near the power jumper. You got any circuit or idea what parts they used? Should be easy fix to swap it. The other mainboard is workin a bit strange. The motor is just doin a noise but no vibration. I checked the connections on the pcb and they are ok. Could be the motor also got broken cause of water and corossion? Finally I orderderd a new mainboard, hope i can get one fixed. I need to say the old versions of the sonicare are build like a tank. They are really well protected from water and even the battery is runing over 10 years now.

@letsfixitgarage Год назад

The lower part of motherboard is usually charging.. could be that something else is damaged as well.. as for the humming and no vibrations there are few things I saw one video where it suggests that eeprom got errased and needs to be reflashed. Couldn't confirm this. Other that I saw was one of the resistors can't remember the placing was off the needed value. You would need two boards to compare with a good one.. yes I love old diamondclean as well it's easy to repair even after water damage and all the traces can be followed easily.. sadly progress goes to the multilayer boards with everything crammed in to chips, that is much more difficult to repair...

@KrzRus 2 месяца назад

You are master, thenk you for this movie :-)

@geraldusaf3704 3 года назад

When repairing one, would you recommend spraying polyurethane clearcoat (conformal coating) if we properly tape all contacts and the switch? To prevent more water damage. Maybe even for a new toothbrush!?

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

Yes, I always cover it in coating after repair.

@DintClempsey 2 года назад

Which bits would I need to tape/protect prior to coating? What kind of maskant would I need?

@letsfixitgarage 2 года назад

Usually I cover only the places I repaired. I'm principle you can leave it uncovered and spray everything will not hurt. Only buttons and solder points would be logical to leave without coating :)

@Roadsurfer2k11 2 года назад

I suggest once you open it, to reseal everything with glue, epoxy, w/e. Even after replacing seals.. Once I cracked it open to replace battery it worked for a week and stopped. Opening it up I found water damage. Traces and fuse are good, led does not come on at all. The battery charges to 1.6V and then drops while on charger. If I had sealed it I'd still have a working toothbrush but now I have parts I don't know what to do with

@letsfixitgarage 2 года назад

It is helpful to add some protection layers but if water gets in it will corode anyways as it is a closed enclosure with no way for water to evaporate.. so something else would give.. check my other comment I would suggest to look for a short on the PCB

@Roadsurfer2k11 2 года назад

@@letsfixitgarage thank you.. the board is definitely bad. I took the new battery out and made a 5V charger splicing an old USB cable and jumped it to 3.7V. So far it's stable at 3.4V but I'll have to get a new brush (not a $200 one again)

Thank you.. i have a small issue.. i put a new head in my 9350.. and set the gap on the magnet.. went seamless, but now upon assembly, the cup charger distance isn't enough.. meaning i can pull it out the bottom and put it in the cup and it works.. when assembled it does not.. but it works fine in the travel charger.. Note: the cup charger worked before disassembly.. im stumped

@letsfixitgarage 25 дней назад

Difficult to say.. but you do need to charge it with glas or plastic part on the charger and bottom cap in place as distance is very important for these chargers..

Hi, thank you very much for your videos. My toothbrush is fully charged, but when I press the button it doesn't vibrate at all. The lights all switch on and off twice and that's it every time I press the button. What would you advice me to do? Thanks!

@f1l4nn1m 3 года назад

I opened it and it was full of moisture. The top rubber was definitely and badly damaged. The inside smelled a bit like toothpaste. I soaked it with paper and then with an hair dresser. Right now it works. Sometimes the button doesn't work and sometimes when I reach the third press (third program) it shuts down. For now I don't really care but I plan to buy a new one soon anyway. Thanks a lot!

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

not sure what hair dresser is, but hope you dried it with a fan or high percentage alcohol before that.. as if moisture is trapped inside it could start acting up again.. and what was your solution for rubber seal? As that part needs to be exchanged as well.. It could be as well that the button has some moisture inside and needs to be replaced or opened and cleaned as it was shown in this video.. so either way some repair is needed if you want to use it in future, but if you want to get a newer model then of course it's not worth the additional effort..

Any sound or partial vibrations when you go through modes? One sugestion would be to check the mosfets maybe they are shorted out or the pcb traces but when the trace are damaged usualy it doesn't turn on at all.. for the traces fix/inspection check my last video.. hope this helps.

Lets Fix It Garage thank you so much for your reply sir, much respect! Mine is the exact same model as your white diamond clean with Bluetooth in your previous video. So when I put it on to the charger, it charges and gives me two rapid vibration that indicates charging as usual. But when I press the power button, it lits up but does not vibrate and in the app it doesn’t show it’s running either.

Hello, i have the same problem with a broken rubber seal. It is still working but I am afraid that the water will get inside. Is it possible to repair/replace the rubber seal? Is it available to buy anywhere as a spare part it? Thanks

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

Yes it's exchangeable. You will need to take it apart and when you do take a good look if the pcb didn't started corroding and if you have some isopropyl alcohol it wouldn't harm to clean the board, button and then dry it out. If you will start to feel that time after time you need to press it hard to turn on, it means that water got inside the button and it got contaminated.. I have one video with button cleaning although it's quite delicate work... And as for the seal check out eBay and AliExpress.. that's my source, as there are no official spare parts for these toothbrushes..

@jessesmith0 3 года назад

Isn’t the toothbrush waterproof? I just dropped mine in water and it got completely submerged but it still works.

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

It is. But if you damage the upper seal with buildup it not only looses watertightnes but also let's small amounts off water through the whole time and that's how you get a water damage on this toothbrush..

@paulpantages6479 Год назад

Hello LFIG, great videos. My diamondclean toothbrush no longer comes on when the button is pushed. I had repaired it earlier, fixing the "air gap" problem between the magnet and coil. I thought I was in the clear, and it worked for while but now the button does not turn the toothbrush on anymore. I disassembled it and still can't turn it on pressing the button on the pcb. I don't see any water damage anywhere. Any ideas? I doubt it is really the button failed but I haven't verified this.....

@letsfixitgarage Год назад

Check my water damage repair videos. It has test points that you can check with multimeter and see if main traces are ok. Main question ofcourse is did you found some water traces on the drive mechanismus and is the seal ok? usually main water damage is on the back side of the motherboard. Other things to check is battery voltage and fuse. But these things are explained as well in the water damage series videos. If you will have some questions after watching these videos let me know.

@paulpantages6479 Год назад

@@letsfixitgarage Wow thank you for the quick reply. I will do as you suggest but I see no sign of water anywhere. But I will look again. I have un soldered the battery and completely dissembled it. Battery voltage is good: 3.829 . I have a good Fluke 87 V voltmeter.

@letsfixitgarage Год назад

Good. If battery is ok then check in continuity mode fuse, and MOSFET controll traces I showed them in water repair videos. That's the main thing that go bad in diamondclean if there was water inside.. if this is ok one more thing is if water gets inside the button. That you will see in the videos as well ;)

I eventually lost a piece (it bounced off the work surface onto the floor) and I was unable to find it. So I have one last question: where do you get new buttons from?

Hi, Great video! I create the space between motor and magnet as you show in the video but it still doesnt work The toothbrush charges (LED flashed slowly), If I remove from charger it shows all LED's. But if I press power button nothing happens. The button work as I measured between Rx an Tx, but it doesnt do anything. Also no LEDs flashing or so... Any tips?\ what it could be?

@letsfixitgarage Год назад

Which model do you have? Are there any indication leds which brushing mode is on when you push the power button?

@reinhardvoorspoels Год назад

@@letsfixitgarage Thanks for the quick reply! Model: HX9370 I think it is the same one as you used in this video (same color anyway and internals anyway) No indications. Power button doesnt do anything. Before I repaired the position of the magnet (thanks to your video :) ) sometimes all LEDs flashed at very low intensity so I think their might have been a shortcut or other issue. Maybe that was also the result of the magnet being stuck against the coils. Now it doesnt do anything. When I charge it, the LEDs do what do normally did: - green LED slowly flashing - when removed from charger all LEDS on for ~10s Do you know if the mode-LED also lights up when there is something wrong with the coils (or f.e. if the magnet is too far away?) Maybe the system needs it to operate? Can you maybe test it by disconnecting the coils and see what happens if then the power button is pressed? At the moment one of the red wires towards the coils is broken as I moved it too much... so first have to fix that. Not sure if it was already a bad connection and that therefore the LEDs dont light up... Thanks already! (if you prefer to do this via email then please share your mailadres)

@letsfixitgarage Год назад

No there is no feedback from the coils. It works it's cycle even when no coils are connected. But let's start from begining your brush had water damage. My best gues is that the power button inside has corrosion. Check my water damage repair videos in one of them I open the button. So you need to do the same or replace the button completely. You can check this by shorting two button legs with pliers or other metal device it should turn on. If no it means the button trace on the back side is damaged. You will need to remove the PCB completely and restore the trace by wiring a jumpwire on top from button test point to one of the test points that I show in water damage repair videos regarding trace restoration. But as said to evaluate the real damage you will need to remove the PCB completely. If you need my email its in about Channel section. Good luck!

@Lets Fix It Garage I measured the functionality of the button with a multi-meter and it still works fine. Will check your video about water damage and see if I can resolve it with that. Thanks for the quick replies

For spare parts I check AliExpress or eBay, these are my main sources.. regarding Philips I'm growing to understand their position.. not saying that it's right but these repairs are somehow complex and difficult for large manufacturer, but for sure they could offer spares for small repair shops or DIY enthusiast's :)

@hemanttailor1126 2 года назад

@@letsfixitgarage Good point. I have two brushes that don’t work. In one the battery lifts out at one end and I think there should be a lead which may be broken. As the leads are soldered the battery shouldn’t lift.

Then yes lead from battery has broken off. It is usually spot welded to the battery. So if it corroded away I would definitely suggest taking the board off and inspecting the back side for water damage. Or it could be that you will need to take it apart one more time.. Spot welding or soldering of the lead to the battery is possible as well but it requires precision..

If you have rust it will be water damaged. You can check my other videos on water damage and it's repair. Additionally my email is in channels about section.

link for the work station mat.

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

It's one of the older popular 2 in 1 hot air + solder iron Chinese stations. Not sure if it's even produced any more, but should be something like 853d

@@letsfixitgarage was more after the blue mat as the work area.

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

Ok, didn't understood you.. again the same chinese just search for "silicone soldering mat" and you will get more then you need :)

Most of the video is of his work bench. Who would go to this much trouble for a toothbrush?

@letsfixitgarage Год назад

that's always the case in the learning curve.. boring and long.. this video was my first attempt in water damage repair and sadly is not the best example, but you can always check other videos where you can find a summary of majority of defects and solutions to it in one video ;) that kind of video can come only after the boring part :) As for the trouble I have already repaired more than 300 toothbrushes for different people. And when I read successful repair comments I really start to think that these video do make an impact...

It would've been useful if we could've actually seen what you were doing 🤦🏻‍♂️

@letsfixitgarage 3 года назад

Sorry for that, this video was as testimonial for a first repair for someone else and at that time I didn't had to much experience with water damage.. check my other videos with water damage mentioning they are much more explanatory then this one ;)

@glongshot 2 года назад

Can't you video up? Are you afraid of people seeing your face?

@letsfixitgarage 2 года назад

Good question I think my idea of this Chanel was "straight to the busines and les chit chat" so I haven't saw additional value for intro with me talking.. and small overcrowded Workshop quite difficult to get a clean shot :)))
