Thank you SO MUCH for this! My thermometer didn't have the same problem yours had; the problem my thermometer had, was that it wouldn't switch on AT ALL! I thought I might as well give your video a try, before purchasing a new thermometer. I had an idea that the issue was due to a battery leak. I followed your instructions for opening the case, and what did I see? Although the 'motherboard?' was entirely clean; there appeared to be leaked battery fluid on the inner battery contacts (the inside of my model, is slightly different from your own, with one flat battery contact, running along the width of the device). I wiped this down, and reassembled the device; it is now WORKING PERFECTLY . THANK YOU so much for posting this, you have saved me some money, and prevented a savable device from ending up on the scrap heap!
P.s, I didn't have the contact cleaning spray, so used a spray for disinfecting electrical items (e.g. clippers, shavers etc, on a sterile device wipe), with a toothpick to assist with lifting dome of the battery fluid debris).
Our Braun Thermoscan had totally stopped working, even when we put new batteries in. Followed Solomon’s 10 minute video, excellent detailed instructions that were easy to follow and wow! Fixed!! Thank you so much! 🤒
Amazing. I had sent my first one back under warranty. When it happened again I was so pleased to find this video. Even though there looked to be nothing wrong, it fixed it. I just used an alcohol cleaner.
Watched your video and to my amazement it was exactly the same issue. Alcohol, qtip and a wooded toothpick allows me to use the thermometer again ! Thanks for saving me some money and stopping this device from the dump!
Thank you very much! I've seen oxidation on battery contacts before, but never on the circuit board. It never occurred to me to check there. Your video was very helpful. I don't have to waste money on a new thermometer now!
My 10 yr old Braun Thermoscan would turn on and off continously. I am happy I found the video before putting it in the garbage. Thank you sir, great video!
Thank you sooo much... this solution worked perfect for my Braun Thermoscan problem. Your video just saved me $100 😃 and saving the environment from receiving unnecessary electronic waste.
I had a different issue in that the thermometer was reading too high but after disassembling I happened to notice what looked like a tiny hair on a square sensor below the ear part, but after removing this it started working correctly again. Thanks for the tips on disassembly - mine is butchered now from the screwdriver but at least it takes the temp! 👍
Thank you so much for this video!Very detailed and accurate.I have the same problem with my braun thermometer,got it fixed after watching ur video.But the color indicator remained Red.🤦🏻♀️😅
It worked!! saved my $159 for a new one! Thank you so much for the video! But I coudn't find the LPS Micro-X off the shelf. Instead, i used a 70% alcohol wipe, and cleaned it carefully. Anyways, you've earned a subscriber!👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks a lot. Didn’t work the first time. Then out of desperation, opened it again and wiped more thoroughly. And voila it worked like a charm. Thanks again!
My issue was different, temperature was too high all the time, and after a while I got a system error. But even though I couldn't find anything when disassembling, after I reassembled it started working properly again. So thanks for the disassembly instructions. They really helped.
Thanks for the video, the plastic piece that makes contact with the thermometer switch broke on mine. Your video and some super glue got me going again!
I had a flashing screen and taking the batteries out didn’t help. Slightly different model but basically the same disassembly and cleaning the corroded contacts fixed my problem too. Thanks!
Thanks a lot, I throw my first one and brought the second one with same problems, now it's midnight all the store closed, I really need it rightnow u method really works.
this is bloody good and helpful!!! thank u for saving me $169!!! after days of searching and even contacting service center who said they dont service/repair here in Singapore without warranty my issue was the temp showing a higher reading than usual. so folks facing this issue, u just gotta try to wipe the dust off the small black square beneath the ear part. works! THANK U
Can I send you my granddaughters? They don't work right ever. They're 9, & turning 11 this month. I swear they quit working right the day the warranty expired. Ugh.

Mine is the same model. It shows an alternating oC and oF Set error code that is persistent despite attempts of pressing other buttons. Even after cleaning the internal electrical contacts, the thermometer buttons still do not respond. I guess it is totally spoilt.

Amazing all I done was show my thermometer this video and what I was about to do to it and it started working again 😅, 🫡
🤣🤣 do it again when the thermometer gets cranky again
Can I send you my granddaughters?
They don't work right ever.
They're 9, & turning 11 this month.
I swear they quit working right the day the warranty expired. Ugh.
My favorite part was when he sang, “wipe, wipe, wipe”.
😂 wipe wipe wipe
That you very much! That worked for mine.
Do they need calibrating and if yes how please?
Yes, with a Kalibrator 9600 (Professionel System)
Ok, but how to go in thermometer to calibration mode?

What is p0s error
Mine always tell the difference temperature.why ? Please help
Mine is the same model. It shows an alternating oC and oF Set error code that is persistent despite attempts of pressing other buttons. Even after cleaning the internal electrical contacts, the thermometer buttons still do not respond. I guess it is totally spoilt.
I have a problem
Shown po5 on my braun ear thermometer
Can probably avoid this by storing the device without batteries in it.
@2:15 your screw is so much longer than mine, despite of the same model i am holding with me
Hmm.. why is that so? I wonder
thaks
Thanks
Thanks going to try this
You're most welcome 🙂
Didn't work. Thanks for your video

Excellent

Thank you , It worked
Thank you for watching, subscribe and share 😊
The screw is a T6
I can't take out the screw😢
You need a star shaped screwdriver. It's also called a torx screwdriver.
Thanks, taka taka.
Braun Ear Thermometers are really bad bad bad quality. I've 5 of them. All of them are dead one by one in just a couple of years.
