    • You will need two screwdrivers:

    • a 6.5mm flathead and

    • a small Phillips #1.

    • Have a look to an alternative opening procedure.

    • Take the flathead screwdriver.

    • Insert it into the slot located at the bottom of the handle and turn counterclockwise to release the bottom cap.

    • The second image shows the amount of turning needed to loosen the bottom cap.

    • Be careful with this as the plastic is not very solid. Deforming the material could result in issues when placing the device onto the charging station.

    • Hold the handle upside down, and push down on the shaft to release the internal components of the handle.

    When i tried all i acheived was scratch away some plastic on the bottom hole. ANd i could not see anything that would require a counter-clockwise turn or any movement from the bottom side at all.

    In the end i've just used something to push against the brush holding part and the whole thing came apart without damage.

    Hey Ralf,

    did you recognize any difference in composition of your device? Perhaps, the manufacturer changed it.

    Cheers.

    Unfortunately I ended up stripping the bottom plastic screw hole trying to get it off as it didn't twist out. Can you post more details pics showing the starting position of the slot and the ending position when it's unlocked? How many degrees did you need to turn it before it came out?

    Hi @fixme,

    I added an additional picture to the second step that hopefully shows amount of turning needed to loosen the bottom cap. It's probably ten to fifteen degrees.

    Cheers,

    Sebastian

    If you have a FlexCare 69xx handset, then Ralf is correct, no screwdriver needed, just push the metal part (brush holding part) hard to e.g. a wall.

    The rest is the same.

    Does anyone know how to open a Sonicare HX8912 or HX8910.First number is box part number and second is on bottom of brush.I took off the bottom but pushing hard on brush shaft end doesn't cause assembly to pop out.I don't want to break it pushing too hard,if there is some other way to pop out the innards.

    It's been a few years, but for anyone that comes across this post, in answer to Jon Jensen's post, I discovered that there are two tabs that have to be released to allow the central shaft to be pushed out. The tabs are accessible from the bottom of the toothbrush after removing the bottom cover. They're hard to access and must be pressed inward. I discovered this AFTER breaking open my case and seeing why the shaft wouldn't come out. Hopefully this helps someone else.

    • Carefully pull the internals out of the casing.

    • Take the small Phillips screwdriver.

    • Tighten the small screw that can be found near the top of the device internals

    • Pro tip: I experienced that the screw comes loose after just a few days if you do not take further actions.

    • Hence, unscrew the screw completely and put some superglue at the end of it. Then tighten it again. This prevents the screw to get loose due to the vibrations.

    Hallo,

    eine wunderbare Reparaturanweisung !

    Nur leider mußte ich die etwas modifizieren !

    Also bei mir funktionierte die Vibration auch nicht mehr.

    Jedoch hatte sich an meiner Zahnbürste nicht die Schraube am Kopf gelöst sondern….einige Zentimeter weiter die Fixierung der Spule !

    Nachdem ich die Schraube der Spule ganz gelöst hatte (Lage der Schraube unmittelbar vor dem Schaltpanel) konnte ich die Spule etwas bach hinten verschieben.

    Dann die Schraube angezogen und die Vibration war wieder vorhanden !

    Vielkeicht hilft mein Kommentar dem einen oder anderen !

    Vielen Dank für diese Beschreibung, hat mir unterm Strich geholfen

Conclusione

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Be sure not to insert the internals of the device twisted. Close the device by using the flathead screwdriver and imposing some pressure upon it. Finally, if the internals are in the enclosure close the device by turning the bottom cap clockwise.

thanks for that one - you rescued ours from a premature trip to the landfill :)

Great guide. Thanks. I just tried doing this to mine but quickly found that the housing the screw goes into was broken completely in half. I wonder if I JB Weld would be strong enough to hold it together.

Excellent guide; a simple fix saves $$ and waste. Thanks!!

Thank you! It's realy help me!

Did the superglue tip work longterm? I'm just concerned if this approach fails then the glue residue is a mess along the threads. Send feedback!

Für den Wiederzusammenbau habe ich den Deckel vorsichtig von dem Innenteil abgehoben und dann zuerst das Innenteil in das Handstück eingeführt, bis die seitlichen Haltenasen einrasten. Anschließend habe ich den Deckel mit leichtem Druck in der richtigen Position wieder aufgedrückt. Fertig.

I opened a model (HX6530 which has an oval cross-section) that had a similar failure and found the same mechanism inside, but the metal casting - which holds the brush spike and which the screw fixes in place - had broken in half, so tightening the screw couldn’t fix the problem. This looks to me like a poorly designed casting - this one was a replacement under warranty. Both the original and the replacement failed after a little over a year of use with the same cast breakage.

Poor choice of materials or planned obsolescence?
