Found a broken ground on the motor. I was able to strip the wire and heat the old solder and attach the new exposed wire. Worked like a charm. Thank you for the video.

Interesting, glad it helped fix it

Just realized that inside the shaver there is a 3 level battery indicator. The plastic on top covers the two of them so from the outside yours only has one indicator. Damn.

There are several small variations on the battery indicator, but frankly it makes little difference it just flashes when it's low

I didn’t know they had soldered in cells : I followed the video step by step as I was doing it . Anyway it is what it is .

They do it so if you drop the item it won't disconnect or the terminals get damaged, but it would be a lot easier if you could just slot a cell into the body or they had an easy access to the battery.

Great demonstration of how to replace battery in shaver. Would need more info on the type of battery, size, voltage and is it mercury etc. Where to buy one etc.

Our heads have a notch in them not the little wings. How do you know where the notch goes? We cleaned it and now one head isn’t rotating but the shaft spins fine. Thanks!

I have not seen that design, keep turning the foils/cutters by hand until they slot in. Or look at the other cutters to see how they fit in

I can see your silver open/close switch ("release" button) is missing, mine is missing as well. How were you able to open/close the head without the switch? I can't close it anymore since my switch came off.

It broke so I made a warranty claim from Philips and they sent me a new one! Before that I had to hold it shut (just by using it) to get it to work. I never found a way to fix it as the part that holds the foil down broke.

Hello, whats is your model of shaver i have phillips s3134 and battery voltage minted on case is 15v how its possible

@MrBazReviews

9 ай бұрын

I got a replacement from Philips (first one clip on the top head broke) The model is S3133, the 15V is the output of the mains charger, so yes it charges at 15V

Thanks for the video - very useful. I replaced the battery but all that happens when I press the on/off button is that the orange LED flashes. Nothing happens when I plug in the charger. I've checked that the charge voltage is present on the PCB pads, so the prongs are connecting OK. Any ideas?

@@DOOMJESUS It's a big debate that I can't really comment on, however Li-ion is well known for well, they can be a fire hazard for one, they also have many metals used in construction - for the sake of a few minutes to remove them, I think dumping them isn't an ideal option.
