DIY shaver batter changing?
I have a reasonable Remmington Shaver that works, beard cutting wise unlike
their latest one does. Its a rotary. However it has now ceased to work on batteries unless you plug in the charger get it going then unplug the charger while its going and then it will only last a few mins. My diagnosis is that a cell or cells have gone faulty so that when you power on there is not enough ooomph to start the motor and a protection circuit stops it. You can hear the tick as it tries. So the thing is can one get these things apart so one can reassemble them and can one change the batteries as it seems daft to have to junk the whole thing when its merely a rechargeable batter issue. there is of course no obvious screws on the thing. I did wonder if the makers fix them but I suspect they will just try to sell me a new one which I have got one of and its rubbish.
