I have just checked our copy of the service manual for the HP43120 and "Error 5" means that the defib is overcharged. This model has been obsolete for the past 5 years and I regret to advise you to scrap that particular defib because spares for the HP43120 are no longer available from Philips.

Dear Huta, I too agree with Jonathan Wells.It is better to scrap if the obsolete equipments are used more than its life especialy life saving equipments like defib Regards Sajeev

Just because, for purely commercial reasons, a “manufacturer” declares a nice piece of equipment obsolete, does not make it so (not in my book, anyway).
Spare parts will still be available, especially from the USA, and a search on the web may indeed prove fruitful.
I agree with Geoff. I drive my 68 mustang around during the summer safe in the knowledge that although Ford have not made any spares for the thing for 25+ years I can still fix it and make it "work" in a safe fashion (although drum brakes can be a bit hairy!). There are plenty of old units around for spares in both the States and the UK
