The best electric toothbrushes are the Oral-b Professional Care and the Phillip Sonicare Diamond Clean. You can find more information on these electric toothbrushes on their respected websites: http://www.usa.philips.com/c/diamondclean/289711/cat/en/ and http://www.oralb.com/products/professional-care-smart-series-4000/.

This happened to me as well. One long, two short beeps. Incessantly. Only happens when brush is on the charger.

Try this simple fix first. Hold down the SILVER button for 5 seconds while the toothbrush is on the charging base. If the fix works, it will fix the problem immediately like magic.

If that doesn't work, try this:
1) remove brushhead.
2) use screwdriver in the base and turn 1/4 turn
3) push out assembly from the top
4) dry the inside of of the base handle. allow to air dry
5) allow the switch to air dry
6) reassemble

Turn it on and put it on the charger while still on. This should turn off toothbrush. And it stopped the blinking!

Hi,
Welcome to fixya. Here is the link for you to register your Philips sonicare toothbrush https://pnregistration.harte-hanks.com/sonicare_Registration.aspx.
Hope this helps.:)

I had mine for many, many years without a problem. I bought mine directly from them when they were first starting up, before they started advertising.
There's no easy fix as the internal electronics have gone kapute. Before pitching the unit for a new one, contact Sonicare and see if they will be willing to work with you by replacing it for a discount.

If not, the Oral-B is FAR superior product and is the only type I see recommended by dentists. Really made a difference over the Sonicare.

Both are highly rated however. Ask your dentist for his opinion.
