Philishave shaver not working?

Nov 12, 2015 13 Replies

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!

Happened once with a razor I had...it was just a bad switch

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?

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

Sounds most likely.

UNPLUG razor and test switch with ohmmeter.

I have to keep mine trimmed to 6" max or it blows up in my eyes when I'm on the motorcycle . No problems sleeping though .

You could do comb over or a man bun. (yikes)

Maybe he should braid is add beads to the ends of each braid?

yes, mouth and ears when I'm lying down and trying to sleep. o_O

Yeah, that would be an attractive look for beady monster.

I've seen some cool car guys on tv do that occasionally.
