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.
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.
@@MrBazReviews Well yea but I found it interesting how the model with one battery indicator has 3 on the inside but not used. All that changes when you get the 3 charge indicator model is the plastic on top
@@MrAllstar Well yeah, that makes sense. I’m just surprised every time I see a case like it, it almost looks counter productive so I’m always amazed by the fact that it actually does save money lol
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.
Get some "solder wick" it soaks up the solder and then it's easier to remove. Just heat both sides of the battery with the wick and it will soak up the solder. Re-apply solder with a new battery fitted (solder the cells ends then insert, and heat up the contacts to bond)
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.
The video is 3 minutes and 37 seconds, it's not exactly a long watch to find that out. Almost all devices of this type have soldered in cells it's standard
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?
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!
A digital voltmeter is seen (1:19) inside the shaver. Kindly elaborate its presence and utility. How to repair or replace the touch switch of the shaver?
@@madhusudangupta3661 The only thing there is the 3 stage level/charge indicator, but only one shows on this model, it is likely a shared part with other models. It is not use serviceable as far as I can see. I have no other information on this.
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
@@MrBazReviewsI tried to find a corded one, but there's virually no choice. Still, your video is very helpful as it reassures me that I can replace the battery and thereby not have to throw the device away once the battery is depleted. Many thanks again.,
@@1TimBaugh Very few around on corded options. It's shame you can't power it via mains, I suppose someone might drop it in the water. I never had a problem myself with corded ones.
@@MrBazReviews MAYBE. PERSONALLY, I STOPPED RECYCLING ANYTHING HERE IN AMERICA AFTER I FOUND OUT THAT ALMOST 100% OF OUR RECYCLABLES ARE SENT TO CHINA, WHERE THEY RECYCLE ONLY WHAT THE CCP CAN USE FOR THEMSELVES AND DUMP THE OTHER 90% OF IT IN THE OCEAN.

@@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.

Interesting, glad it helped fix it

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

@@leonmacwell spotted, many manufacturers do that, cheaper to make in bulk but they can still have price points with better "features".

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 .

Simply read the code on the battery, you can then order a replacement. Such as from here:

Thank you ❤
No problem
I’ve never soldered before but it would be way cheaper than buying a new razor, any tips on first time soldering/ what I should buy to do so?

@@MrBazReviews thank you so much this helps a lot, ill give it a shot. have a great day :)

No problemo
some older shaver doesn't have soldered battery
also they didn't marked polarization
Not sure can only comment on this one, as it's a more recent one.
Annoying that the manufacturer makes it so hard to replace batteries
You're right, they didn't design this to be easily accessible that is for certain!
Why not a ordinary slot in lithium battery, without all this pulling things apart, how long does a battery last on these shavers!
We live in a disposable society! Sadly. It depends on use it should last multiple years. Maybe 3-4 years possibly a bit longer
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.
I wish you had said you need to solder the battery off at the onset! Spent a good half hour taking it to pieces and then told that !
The video is 3 minutes and 37 seconds, it's not exactly a long watch to find that out. Almost all devices of this type have soldered in cells it's standard
Stop charge after 2 months any information about that?
Get in touch with the seller aka warranty, or Philips directly should have a 2 year warranty
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?
Something must be disconnected or damaged I would be using a magnifying glass to check over everything
Same issue here, does it still hold its charge?
The same problem today. New battery soldet, but not charging at all, just fast orange flashing. Charger ok.
any information on screws? ive lost mine during repair...
I don't have it anymore so can't help sorry
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
How do you make sure you get the proper battery for this model?
You match the battery part number

There is no voltmeter inside the shaver, I have no information on the switch and if it's serviceable
@@MrBazReviews Threre is a "000" display on the shaver at 1:18 to 1: 21 during the play of the VDO. Kindly refer the vdo. Thanks in advance.

@@MrBazReviews That's ok sir.
I did all the steps but I'm having trouble to get the battery I out. Can you explain how to get it out easily🙏
You have to de-solder it, ie soldering iron and copper usually to remove most of the solder
Hello, whats is your model of shaver i have phillips s3134 and battery voltage minted on case is 15v how its possible
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
should the razor work while charging cord is in the razor ? mine doesn't ?
Nope it doesn't run off mains only charges the battery with the cord
@@MrBazReviews ok thankyou !!
Many thanks for the video.
It's scandalous how difficult this is. It just encourages wastefulness,
You're right it would be so much easier to have a removable battery pack that didn't require you to pull apart the case.
@@MrBazReviewsI tried to find a corded one, but there's virually no choice. Still, your video is very helpful as it reassures me that I can replace the battery and thereby not have to throw the device away once the battery is depleted. Many thanks again.,

Yes as my late father would have said : what a Pahlava . Unnecessary complicated : I won’t buy a Philips again!
Thanks. What an exercise. Won't buy philips ever again.
It could be a lot easier if they wanted it to be!
THIS IS WHAT LANDFILLS WERE MADE FOR.
Probably better to re-cycle at least the cell. Where I am there are battery re-cycle points in many larger shops.
@@MrBazReviews MAYBE.
