Very useful guide - I treated myself to a new motor as the cost was not much more than the cost of replacement brushes.

Hi, where did you buy the new motor?

Bonjour

et si on n’a rien pour souder, y a t’il une autre solution svp?

GALLAS - Reply Share

Bonjour ! Si vous ne disposez pas de matérial de soudure, nous vous conseillons de vous rendre à un Repair Café ou un Fab Lab. Ces associations mettent du matériel à disposition et peuvent éventuellement aussi vous conseiller sur la démarche à suivre. Bonne réparation !
