I need help with Turbox Zero T40

Hello everyone, I’m new to this and I’m not sure how forums work, I need help. I was given a razor that is broken, and the first thing I did was check the voltage at the motor input, and it was 0. I disconnected the motor and measured the voltages on the batteries, and they were dead (I think they are completely damaged). So, I disconnected the batteries and measured the voltages, and it showed 3V at the output (the supply is 5V). However, when I connect the motor, the voltage drops to 0, and at the motor terminals, there is 5V with respect to ground. I’m not sure what to do, I know some basics about electronics and I know the motor is an inductor that short circuits, and I suppose that’s why the voltage drops to 0 due to the short, but I’m not sure if it’s a lack of current or what might be damaged on the board.

Some modern power adapters will send a very short pulse of power to the device (milliseconds to Microseconds long) and make sure the current is not excessive to make sure there is no short circuit.

Sometimes, very dead batteries make the AC adapter logic behave like it is powering a short circuit because the current flow is too high. If that happens, the power supply stops for 1 second (commonly 1-second) and then tries again. And repeats.

Alternatively, the power adapter also checks for some current flow to make sure it should be sending some power, otherwise, it shuts down in a power saving mode.

Summary, just because your volt meter measure a power supply at zero volts, doesn't mean it's broken.
