See the picture There is a hole (probably about 2cm wide) in the white plastic body, and in the hole there is an even smaller hole (about 1cm wide) and in the hole is the small round metallic switch. A small plastic frame is plugged in the hole, and the frame is covered with a green rubber. A long stick like thing is attached to the rubber. If you press the button, the stick presses the switch. ============ <-rubber | | <-stick _ <–switch ——-++————— The green rubber was worn out and stretched. It touched the switch erroneously. The switch is very sensitive. So I ripped off the green rubber. The button frame could easily be popped out. Now, if I can get a replacement button, it would be really easy to pop the new button in the hole. But I could not find any replacement on eBay. I doubt Phillips would sell a replacement. So, I would like to find some ugly, ad-hoc way to press the switch. Since this is a toothbrush, the body can be covered with water. If there is any gap, water could get into the hole and ruin the circuit. What can I create to press the switch? Do you have any ideas? It seems really a waste of resources if I have to throw away the whole toothbrush just because the rubber on the button is worn out.
Hello Same problem. saved centre portion which I place on switch with a dab of silicon seal on each side. Let dry and filled rest of hole with sealant. Works good. do not get any glue on switch. Ross
