Hi, I had the same problem some time ago, and it took me a while to understand that the problems I were experiencing (buttons not working, etc) were due to that damn little plastic tooth..
I solved the problem without modifying anything on the board as you suggest: I simply glued a bit of plastic (anything small enough to fit in the small hole the switch is in, but big enough to keep the switch pressed. I used a 2mm long section of electric cable) to a 2-3cm long piece of black insulating tape, and put the tape to keep the switch pressed. This way the repair is almost invisible (only a 5mm long piece of tape is visible right over the reset switch), and everything is working.. and I didn't have to open the hx4700 nor to solder anything. I hope my solution will be helpful, let me know if it is not clear, I could send a picture. wiseLynx Pigeon wrote: > Hi all, > > Firstly let me a apologize in advance if this is totally offtopic, > I'm hoping someone on this list could give me some advice. > > The battery lock switch on my hx4700 board had been broken.
