Your guide saved me from purchasing a new device.
After replacing the batteries it works again like a charm!
Thanks this was helpful. The Braun Series 3 Hair Clipper HC3050 has a VERY similar design. Some additional notes: After removing the screws, it takes a bit of force to get the back separated from the front. I had to gently pry it apart with a screw driver. The very inside is slightly different, but same concept.
Die Anleitung war sehr hilfreich.
Der Austausch der Batterien ging ziemlich gut.
I think I already posted a comment but I can’t see it.

Thank you so much. Another appliance reborn :)
Not so much on the price but regarding the consumerism avoidance.
Keep it up 👍
