Repeat this step until you can no longer switch on the Sonicare.

the bottom of the handle. Turn the screwdriver anticlockwise to
release the bottom cap. (Fig. 22)
3 Hold the handle upside down and push down on the shaft to
release the internal components of the handle (Fig. 23).
4 Insert the screwdriver under the circuit board, next to the battery
connections, and twist to break the connections. Remove the circuit
