View Full Version : Electric shaver repair beeper 14-08-2005, 20:20 Hello All - my first post to the forum! I have an aging Philips shaver and the rechargable battery has finally given up the ghost. Is there anywhere local I could get it sorted out? Thanks! owdlad 14-08-2005, 20:23 Welcome to the forum beeper. Now the bad news, you will probably be quoted as much for the repair of the razor as a new one would cost, so bin it and buy a new un. :P cgksheff 14-08-2005, 20:32 Why not have a look inside yourself? If the battery pack looks like 2 or 3 AA or AAA batteries wrapped together with a connector coming out, then the odds are that you can find a replacement at somewhere like Maplins. beeper 14-08-2005, 20:32 Thanks for the speedy reply. I had a look in Coles yesterday and an equivalent model would be about 80 quid. I can't believe a new battery would cost that much! If all else fails I'll have the thing apart and see what Bardwells can do for me.

I had a problem with mine some time ago, rang Philishave and they advised me to take it there. Quite cheap too, in fact they did mine for free! willman 15-08-2005, 10:19 Originally posted by RoyalRegular There's a place in the market up the stairs at the left as you look at it from from wilco.
