Philips Nose trimmer Series 5000: How to open the nose trimmer

Tue, 15 Apr 2025 16:07:45 -0700

Hi,

The title says 'nose trimmer', which I was very happy to find, but the guide actually refers to a beard trimmer.

Someone at our Repair Cafe brought in a Philips-Norelco Series 5000 nose trimmer that stopped working, but it seems to be impossible to open it. Do you happen to know if and how it can be opened?

Thanks

Philips Series 7000 Beard Trimmer QT4045: Philips Beard Trimmer - identify the correct replacement batteries.

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 06:40:14 -0700

I have a Philips QT4045/70 beard trimmer which I’vee had for 12 years and has served me really well. I’ve had to charge it much more frequently recently and it is not operating with enough power to trim by beard very effectively.

Inspired by an iFix article from the US I decided to take it apart to see if I could replace the batteries. After great difficulty I managed to do this without breaking any of the pieces (although I haven’t put it back together yet!). However, the batteries are unmarked other than with the following:

“SAN

NiMH

8JH”

I’ve search everywhere I can think of online for information and even contacted Philips but they won’t give me the battery specification, they claim it is proprietary data.

I know the batteries are Nickel Metal Hydride and I’m pretty certain they are 2 AA batteries joined together so I think they will be v1.2 each (total 2.4v) but can’t be certain and I’ve no idea of the capacity. I’ve found a few places selling the battery units I need with the metal tabs to solder onto the wires in the beard trimmer but without the specification for the original battery I’m reluctant to risk using any of these.

My battery knowledge is pretty limited but I’m worried that there will be an issue charging replacement batteries with the original charger if the new ones are a different spec.

I separated the original battery unit to see if there was anything written on the joined section that would give me more information but nothing. Each battery has the following dimensions:

Height = 49 mm

Diameter = 13 mm

So the original unit is 26mm wide as the 2 batteries were attached along their lengths.

Does anyone know which batteries I can use? As I said my main concern is the charging of these replacement with the original charger but I also need to know the batteries will power the trimmer.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Philips Norelco OneBlade: New razor won't charge because of bad contact.

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 19:19:22 -0700

I have this brand new OneBlade that refuses to charge. Philips's customer service sent me a new one for free. But I'd like to fix the faulty one.

The charging cable attaches to the device firmly and everything looks fine, but the light on the razor doesn't turn on and it doesn't charge. I tried the new cable that Philips sent and still doesn't work. When I force-press and hold the cable into the device with a slight angle (pressing both into the device and down) the light turns on and the razor charges.

So it looks obvious that there is some sort of bad contact with the two pins on the razor end.

I'd like to read your suggestions about how to fix the bad contact but I'm also a little bit concerned about safety... like not setting my house on fire for a 30$ razor.

Thanks!

Philips Satinelle: Can I get some help with my Philips Santinelle Ice?

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 11:12:16 -0700

I have an old Satinelle Ice, which isn't cordless. I believe the wire connection is what is going bad because it works when I use the device in certain angles. Have you come across this model in particular? Just wondering how to fix it. Actually I can't even open it. The screws shown on the transformer are not the typical type, the head has to small indentations but not + cross or the __ continues line. It's more like this - - . The one on the actual device isn't a screw, I know it looks obvious but that is sort of like a "sliding metal door" (best way I can describe) You would think there is a screw behind but none that I can see.
