Had the same issue, would turn on and off on its own and I couldn't turn it off. I used this video on youtube to open the unit and found some wet toothpaste inside. Wiped it out best i could, cleaned the inside plastic, and dried it with a hair dryer on low setting. Reassembled and it worked!

    What did you do about it? Wait for battery to die? Did you contact sonicare and were they helpful?

    Eventually it ran out enough to stop, we then gave it a full charge (whichbit wouldn't takecwhile it was on). It has been ok since. We contacted philips and they said it would be under warranty and that we should contact our seller. It's working now though so we didn't bother.

Philips sonicare toothbrush turns itself on

Its haunted. you need a priest to bless it with holy water.

Or the button is stuck with toothpaste. Mine did that and the battery ended up failing a few weeks later. New ones are lot cheaper than when I bought my first sonicare.

How do I get help with my Philips Sonicare toothbrush, it runs when I am not using it, how is that possible?

There is probably no fix for it, as it is not made to be repaired; if it malfunctions, you are supposed to discard it and get a new one.
However, it is likely the problem is in the switch of the toothbrush.
It may have some foreign matter inside that is causing the contacts to close when not in use, and that its why it is turning on all by itself. If you want to try something to fix it, I would get a tank of compressed air and a blower and try blowing the air into and around the off/on switch.
It might fix it, or it might destroy it.

My sonicare toothbrush won't charge

The best tutorial for repairing Sonicare toothbrushes is here:

The problem is either a corroded circuit board or worn-out Ni-Cad batteries. Both repair solutions require soldering, but full repair is possible.

Had my Sonicare Healthy White toothbrush for over a year. recently it started cycling up on it's own and would stop and start randomly. When I put it back on the charger all the lights would go off and it...

I had mine for many, many years without a problem. I bought mine directly from them when they were first starting up, before they started advertising.
There's no easy fix as the internal electronics have gone kapute. Before pitching the unit for a new one, contact Sonicare and see if they will be willing to work with you by replacing it for a discount.

If not, the Oral-B is FAR superior product and is the only type I see recommended by dentists. Really made a difference over the Sonicare.

Both are highly rated however. Ask your dentist for his opinion.
