Excellent video tutorial. I used batteries with tabs. The tabs were too wide but I just cut them smaller with scissors to fit the slot. The blue lens at the bottom indicating charging fell off on 1 of the 3 shavers I was working on and it won't stay in place now. It's not a big deal. I'll at some point glue that into place.

Should mention a soldering iron is needed! I was on holiday when mine packed and the funny thing is I always forget the soldering iron! Tried it when I got home and yes working so thanks,

Good work Frank - a soldering iron is definitively a 'must have' tool for this and many other of my projects!

19:07 hi Simom, any ideas where to get a new charging cable,thanks

Great!!!

Can you please make a video how to change or repair the trimmer ?

Hi Simon, Do you have instructions on re-assembling the front blade/power button? Cheers

No, sorry but from memory there are not many parts involved and a spring and detents provide the snap action between the 3 settings

I have a Braun 7680, very similar to the one in your video. I got everything apart with no issues, but it appears that the battery board has some sort of clear coat that was "painted" over the top of the solder connections (and most everything else on the board) after it was assembled. Any idea whether it's possible to remove the coating without damaging anything?

Hi Matt, Its possible that the board has what is known as a "conformal coating". In this case the conformal coating will be to protect the pcb from moisture which is good as most shavers spend some time in bathrooms! It doesnt make things water proof but water/moisture resistant. To desolder I'd just scrape the clear coat off the battery cell terminals then resolder.

@@PowerOn- Just wanted to say thanks! I got the new batteries installed and I'm amazed at the results. I didn't realize how much the worn out batteries were affecting its performance. My shaver is close to 20 years old, but now it feels like new!

How much would this cost to do? I would rather have someone do it for me. Is that possible? Thanks for sharing :o)

The replacements cells with tabs already welded are about 10usd ea. Then you just need a friend with a soldering iron!
