Awake: 6:14am Temp 65 sleep 5+58 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
After breakfast, I picked another small container of blueberries, & then fixed Kathy up with a full tank of pure water to do (4) loads of laundry. Now I have some idle time to dissect & analyze why my sister Corinne's Sonicare tooth brush is kaput.
It took awhile to get into the body of this Sonicare; a surgeon I am not. If the Sonicare had been alive, I would have surely killed it within (15) min. What I found was....the heart was not thumping; in other words, the batteries were dead & therefore, the micro processor could not function. For the model Corinne has, the batteries, on average, last slightly over (2) yrs & replacing those batteries is no easy task....as I found out.

Taking it to the next level
2002 was a banner year for Philips Oral Healthcare as the company launched the next generation in power toothbrushes -- the Sonicare Elite -- at the American Dental Association (ADA) annual meeting in October 2002. It became an instant success. More than 100,000 dental professionals personally tried the Sonicare Elite since its introduction.
2003 welcomed the release of the Sonicare Elite to consumers. The Elite's next generation design provides an unprecedented level of comfort, and is the most advanced power toothbrush to date to promote maximum oral health and hygiene.
The Head Of Its Class
Although it looks pretty simple on the outside, the Sonicare brush head is a marvel of technology on the inside -- a tidy package of wires, microchips and magnets. When we say it's a finely tuned instrument, we really mean it: There's a microprocessor inside that controls the toothbrush, from its precise head movement to battery charge. And there's a laser-tuned resonator to maintain precise bristle velocity for dynamic fluid cleaning action. Think of the ultra-high bristle speed that a Sonicare toothbrush generates and you can see why it's so important to get this part right.
You'll Get A Charge Out Of This
Most people wouldn't give the Sonicare charger base a second thought, because it seems so utilitarian. But we gave it a lot of thought. This attractive little base charges your Sonicare toothbrush with enough juice to last two weeks. It also has a convenient cord wrap feature in the underside of the charge base to store excess cord.
I haven't completely dissected the main body parts yet, but when I have more time, I'll make an effort to replace the batteries & see if the robot will come back to life.
The Soniccare with its clothes removed!
During my meticulous probing & checking for voltages that were zilch, Kathy made her Monday run to Barnesboro for the library, thrift store & Dollar General. She saved some of that laundry process for late afternoon.
Dinner: pork chops, fried noodles, Bing cherries, mango slices, fruit salad, mixed salad & apple sauce.
Lights out: 11:44pm
