Default Philishave shaver not working?

Shaver simply stopped working. Have checked fuse and mains lead. Consists
mainly of circuit board and motor, I have some electronics knowledge and
have checked diodes, resistors etc. but no obvious fault. How can I tell if
it's the board or the motor? Each can be bought but wouldn't be cost
effective.

Christmas is coming. Retailers will be offering them at substantial
savings. Just treat yourself to a new one!

Can't give you any advice. If the repair is 30% of the used value,
might be time for a new unit

Didn't think to try bypassing the switch! Have been sporting stubble and
hinting in the run up to Xmas.

If it's not the switch it's not worth fixing
new razors don't cost too much.

Obvious using a voltmeter, or without one?

How can I tell if it's the board or the motor?


Is there voltage at the motor? Enough to run the motor? How much?

Each can be bought but
wouldn't be cost effective.

Sounds most likely.

UNPLUG razor and test switch with ohmmeter.

That would be better than having nurse shave you before surgery and
cut you in the bump ugly area.
