The thing sat idle and disconnected for two weeks.
In the middle of the night, recently, it began its routine, waking the whole house - that would be me!
In order to turn it off, I had to bang the switch on the sink where the tootbrush was sitting as a reminder to be replaced.
It simply would not turn off.
I banged it on the sink. It stopped - in a few minutes began again.
I massaged the switch until it clicked off - in a few minutes it began again.
I banged it and massaged it. I immersed it in water. I tried unsuccessfully to get the battery out.
Same result.
I dropped it off the porch onto the driveway below which didn't stop it at all.
Finally silent, I left it on the porch, ready to take down to the trash and then I turned in for the night.
This morning, opening the door to watch the sun rise, the electric toothbrush was buzzing away.
Some toothbrushes never die, hard as we try!
