Was avout to throw mine away as it had stopped charging for some time and finaly ran out of juice. Glad I decided to check yputube fpr fix before I did that. Seems that I have the excat same damage on mine and I am going to buy a hotiron tomorrow to fix it. You just saved me 90 bucks!
Did it!!!!!!Build in a new battery and it wasnt charging afterwards,with your videos help i noticed that one of my soldering points were to wide and connecting with one of the copper wires of the lower coil.Fixed it and now its charging.Not bad for a blond 61 year operasinger hé😂😂😂😂Thanks so much
This helped me save 50$. The red wires were totally loose, so re-soldering that was the fix, and it charges again ! Btw was my first time soldering, luckily i had the tools available !
Thank you kindly my good sir. I had the exact same problem, and i repaired it the same way you did, with next to no experience in soldering electronics. Very glad i found this video
Hi Mark, thank you for this video, helped me to fix my 3766, same failure. I managed to repair the broken solder joint after watching. To open the device I pushed a size 6 hex-plus allen key inside the bottom hole and slowly bent it backwards until the bottom came loose. No broken plastic and after repair it came back in like nothing happened.
My non charging Oral B must literally be the one you’re featuring in the video. Absolutely genius to use the phone camera. Grabbed the soldering iron and had it fixed in ten minutes. I had a replacement in my Amazon basket ready to be ordered before I watched your video. Thanks bro…you saved me £60. x (Kinda criminal that the charging components are so delicate. It’s almost as though they want them to fail after a few years so you have to buy a new one. Pah…don’t be so cynical)
thank to your video i was able to get it open in like a few mins. I used head gun instead of soaking it in hot water, turn out one of the of the wire broke off, all i had to do was solder it back and good again.
Thank you so much! My costco purchased oral-b couldn't charge and this video made it so easy to fin the problem. Great tip using the phone to find the faulty connection. Soldered just like you and the toothbrush is charging again! Saved myself $100.
Thank you so much, mine did not charge also. I was looking how to open it, and it had exactly the same problem with the broken wire from the coil. Now its working again 😁
Thank you for the tips on how to open it! In my case it was water penetration through the top ring, and the button started to trigger only after drying out the entire internals. The battery indeed was good at 3.65V in ~3 years old brush. I've applied food-safe silicone on the top around the ring, will see how it stands.
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. One of the wires from the coil to the board was broken and just needed to be re-soldered. Problem solved, and the toothbrush is charging again.
Thank you! My model with exact same inside and exact same problem as yours so I just added another blob of solder (although yours is definitely the better way to do it!) and it started accepting the charge. Has to be a manufacturing issue.
Same thing happened to mine. This was a different cheaper model, I noticed it had a NIMH battery. Top came off the same but lower wouldn’t wedge off the base. I think the base prong was too short. I had to use a chisel. Also had to bridge with a capacitor leg. At least if I want to swap the battery in the future it looks a lot easier than with the ion. Thanks for the video. Another item not going to the landfill is a good thing.
Soldered the wireless charging coil, and it works again! I put some silicone on the top to avoid water going in as I don't know how well it will seal after opening it, didn't put any on the bottom as there seems to be a silicone like o-ring and it wasn't in too bad of a shape, hope it holds
Hi, this is precisely what was wrong with mine as well. The little red inductive charging wire broke right at the solder joint (no doubt after drops - we keep ours in the shower and it drops to the floor a bit too often). Thank you for the video! Now, to get the black ring back on (there's some other comments that deal with that)
put the top black ring on before you put the bottom white cap on, place guts back inside and stand it up , you can then press down slightly on the body maximizing how much the shaft collar protrudes. if you put the bottom white cap on first , it`s spring loaded and trying to push the black ring on will only press the workings further into the body.
Top tip : to fit the black ring back into place around the top of the machine, use your sink hole! Bleach it first and then shove the pointy bit into one of the little plug holes which will apply even pressure around the ring!
Lol its hard putting back that top black ring isn't it 🤣its tough being who we are,thanks a lot,I fixed mine using super glue, couldn't wait till the next day to get the solider, I was anxious, I had to fix it now. My son actually dropped mine when reaching for his 🤕
Great video. I wish i had seen it BEFORE i tried to pry open my toothbrush and messed it up beyond repair (i tried to open it the wrong way). Since i bought a new one ever since, i decided to see what was wrong with my old (now broken) one, and it seems it was also the solder on the left (one of the 4 that are next to each other). Next time i won't do the same mistake and i will be ready to do a proper DIY repair job.
I think I've got the secret of not breaking the tab! Below the battery & charge indicator lights find a spot on the rubber that is softer. The tab is latched in a cutout behind the rubber here. Press a fingernail into the rubber to unlatch it when you use the stand to lever it open. (Needless to say, this knowledge came to me after breaking my tab and seeing the structure from the inside.)
O.K., it's great that we have this video to repair our Oral B; however Brau charges enough money that this shouldn't happen at all. This is done on purpose, of course, to maximize profit. Suggest you complain to company and/or not buy it ever again until they make it easy to repair or replace the battery.
Have you ever seen a n oral b triumph 7000 v1 constantly display "aufladen" after a battery replacement? I can't seem to reset it or get it to begin charging. I tested the base and it's good. There is no display to show it with the battery Icon appearing and showing it charging as usual. Any thoughts?
Hi, please help. My toothbrush just blinking. It's not completely die just sometimes it works sometimes not. Is it about the battery issue or should I disassembly mine like you do?
Yep, same issue here on the other leg. Nice video thanks. Although, how on earth did you get the black ring back on at the end? I’m still struggling with the damn thing…
I thought my toothbrush wasn’t working. I took the head of the toothbrush off and turned on toothbrush and I saw the metal part moving just fine. I cleaned up all the gunk around the metal part and inside the toothbrush head where it attacked to the metal part and once I reconnected the toothbrush head to the metal part it worked fine.
Almost every comment here is of someone who had the same issue. I'll join the line - thank you for posting as exact same issue for me. Makes one wonder about the e-trash of the world.
Great video, unfortunately all the soldering was fine in mine. I touched it up anyway and it still wouldn't charge. Then I borrowed a charger off a friend and it worked... So it was the charger that was the issue.
Awesome video! Thanks. In my case moisture has come into the device and caused some rust on metall parts. I cleared the rust as much as I could with rust remover. But it didn't come to life. 😞 I can't find any other visible damage either. The soldered parts all seem fine to me. Any advice are much appreciated.
@@Sawickipedia Interesting thing is it came alive after I charged the battery with a USB-charger (5 V) for a while. Next day after I left it under charge during the night, it didn't want to start again. I will try to change the battery to see what will help. I'll let you know.
I changed the battery with a 18650 , 3.7 V and it came very much alive with a vey high speed! 😲Then again the next day it wouldn't start 😞 It think like it's getting too hot and there is a chip for preventing heat triggering an interruption. I'll try to put a resistor connected in series with the battery later.
Very good video! Please can you tell me...I started charging my toothbrush on a voltage converter with 12V-220V and it didn't charge and it doesn't work for me, and it's a slightly older model and I don't have a charging indicator at all, I try it in the house for only 2 minutes, it still won't work .. my question is can this voltage converter I use in the truck be charged at all? thanks
The voltage converter may not be making a stable enough AC supply for it to work. That's only a guess, so I don't recommend rushing out and buying a new one. Sorry can't be much help here
Classic planned obsolescence from Oral B. Did this on two brushes that concked out at the same time. Thanks for the vid. We need more of these!!
This is exactly what was wrong with my brush. An easy repair to bring back my brush to life. Great video! You are the man…
This video has now saved yet another Oral B toothbrush from ending up in landfill. Same problem here, repaired with these instructions. Thank you 🙌
Same here with my Braun Oral-B Genius/Smart type 3765. Great video. I just did the soldering to reconnect the wire. It works fine now.
Was avout to throw mine away as it had stopped charging for some time and finaly ran out of juice. Glad I decided to check yputube fpr fix before I did that. Seems that I have the excat same damage on mine and I am going to buy a hotiron tomorrow to fix it. You just saved me 90 bucks!

my toothbrush had exactly same break in soldered wire position. Now it is re-soldered and working again. Thanks for the very helpful video.
Exactly the issue! Thank you for empowering all of us along with our toothbrushes!
This just save me today. I was about to go online and buy me a new one. Thank you so much.

You sir are the man!!!
Awesome! Fixed two of similar ones. Fished them out of the trash and it was exactly as you described. Thanks so much for sharing!
The same issue with mu unit - thank you for that video. Strange coincidence that so many users have the same problem just few weeks after warranty.
Thank you so much! My costco purchased oral-b couldn't charge and this video made it so easy to fin the problem. Great tip using the phone to find the faulty connection. Soldered just like you and the toothbrush is charging again! Saved myself $100.
I did scatch mine quite a bit but in the end I managed to fix it! Had the exact same issue yours had. Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much, mine did not charge also. I was looking how to open it, and it had exactly the same problem with the broken wire from the coil.
Now its working again 😁
Awesome! Managed to fix mine too! Exactly the same issue in the very same spot! Thank you! And I have not used a soldering iron in over 20 years.
Great, broken wire easily repaired, now finally in recharge! Thanks very much!😁
Thank you for the tips on how to open it! In my case it was water penetration through the top ring, and the button started to trigger only after drying out the entire internals. The battery indeed was good at 3.65V in ~3 years old brush. I've applied food-safe silicone on the top around the ring, will see how it stands.
Thank you so much! Fixed my daughter's brush in minutes. Thanks again and all the best!
Another repair replicator here - thank you!
I am **** with a soldering iron so it now has a looong run of solder. Fingers crossed it lasts.
😎👍
Fabulous. In spite of my cack-handed soldering, managed to fix mine. Exactly the same problem, though on the other side at the base. Thanks.
Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. One of the wires from the coil to the board was broken and just needed to be re-soldered. Problem solved, and the toothbrush is charging again.
Thank you! My model with exact same inside and exact same problem as yours so I just added another blob of solder (although yours is definitely the better way to do it!) and it started accepting the charge. Has to be a manufacturing issue.
Exactly the same problem with mine. You’re an absolute star! Saved me having to buy another one
I’ve got another issue now where the sensor light stays on whenever I switch it on. It’s an Oral B pro 3 3000. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Interesting, I'm not sure how the sensor itself works so can't be any help there
This video saved me from having to buy a new brush! Thank you so much!
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!
Thank you from Italy, I just repaired my orlal B!
Went and bought a soldering iron and was able to fix two broken toothbrushes. All thanks to you! 🙌

Thanks for the video. Another item not going to the landfill is a good thing.
Thank you so much for this video! Here it had also failed at exactly the same spot. Looking at the comments, seems like a weak spot, prone to fatigue.
Worked great!!! Wire was broken off just like on your video. Thank you so much. LIKE.
Hi. Had the same issue with mine. Soldered it,sorted. Thanks for your help.
You saved my money. Thank you
Thanks for the video. It was exactly the same failure with my toothbrush!
Just like a billion comments here, same toothbrush, same fix. This is some real class action level crap!
Thanks man, super good video.
Fixed mine too. No loose wires, i did re-solder the big solderpoints. Stretched up the spring as well.
Great, same issue here, easy fix! most tricky is opening the bottom and putting back the top retaining ring :)
Hey, great fix. Will try on my Oral-B brush. Sane model too, not charging.
Soldered the wireless charging coil, and it works again! I put some silicone on the top to avoid water going in as I don't know how well it will seal after opening it, didn't put any on the bottom as there seems to be a silicone like o-ring and it wasn't in too bad of a shape, hope it holds

This took some finessing but your technique worked. Thank you!
God bless. I had the same issue and now it's fixed.
Same exact issue with mine, same wire, will get the soldering iron out, cheers mate 👍🏻
Top tip : to fit the black ring back into place around the top of the machine, use your sink hole! Bleach it first and then shove the pointy bit into one of the little plug holes which will apply even pressure around the ring!
Hi Thanks for tip. was struggling to get it to engage properly until I read your tip. Tried it and it worked a treat many thanks
Great tip. I was struggling with this for two days. 😂
And you sir too are the man!! I already broke a nail trying to get it in... awesome tip, thanks. Worked like a charm...
Same issue now fixed thank you
Worked for me too! Thank you !! Greatings from Germany.😀
Lol its hard putting back that top black ring isn't it 🤣its tough being who we are,thanks a lot,I fixed mine using super glue, couldn't wait till the next day to get the solider, I was anxious, I had to fix it now. My son actually dropped mine when reaching for his 🤕
Same issue here. I am comfortable now to open it and try to repair it.
Grazie, era proprio il problema del mio spazzolino. Grazie al tuo video riparazione facilissima.
Top - thanks a lot - was exactly the same problem!

Great video. Exactly what was wrong with mine. Soldered it and working again. many thanks
I had the same issue only on the - side. thanks great video
THANK YOU! Same exact issue!
Thanks, fixed my brush to.
That’s a good idea, using your phone to pan in. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video, I was successful with the repair. Thanks a lot ;-)
Just rectified the exact same broken solder joint on my Oral B Pro 3000 3766. Must be a design weakness? Thanks!
Thanks, there was a same wire broken on my 3766 professional and now its working well! Is this their weak spot..
Great! I was able to reair mine. Thanks a lot!
Thank you

Great video - same problem with my toothbrush - fixed it! Thanks 🙏🏻
HELP i have this exct issue but dont own any metal or a souldering iron to fixx what can i do? will the thin spring from a pen work?
Same here. Fixed same place.
Very helpful thank you
Thank you so much. An incredibly useful video!
