    Transistor I.D. help

    If your transistor isn't totally toasted and you're able to determine if it's a bipolar NPN or PNP you could probably get away with using either a TIP3055 for NPN or TIP2955 for PNP. I'm assuming it's a TO220 package.

    Braun Toothbrush Schematic

    I'm trying to resurrect a dead Braun toothbrush and have the circuit partially figured out. It uses inductive coupling to charge the battery. One half of the circuit is for charging and the other half is used to control the motor. What I found so far is that there was a open from the motor body...
