RAZOR replacement battery 2000mAh for men electric shaver philips hq 7390 replacement parts.

Most likely, the rechargeable battery is died and needs replacement.

The shaver has a 2 year manufacturer warranty. Call Norelco for warranty repair or replacement at 1-800-243-3050

This isn't a rechargeable razor. Link to Philips Website for Manual and Registration below.

Sounds like the batteries are shot. They can be replaced if you're handy with a soldering iron.

The battery has finally degraded to the point that it won't hold or pass voltage, so yes it needs to be replaced. Luckily, with a few skills, such as disassembly and soldering, you can remove and reinstall a new, rechargeable battery that should get the razor working like a champ.

Electric Shaver Service stocks most rechargeable replacement batteries for almost all electric shavers made.

Here's a link to the battery page, just find your model and you're ready to go. If you want, you can call and confirm which is the correct replacement battery for your specific model shaver too.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

the steady red light showing when in charger shows that
it is charging. the blinking red light when taken out of
charger or turned on and off means it is not fully charged.
leave it in charger till red light turns green.

The shaver head symbol means the motor isn't starting, which all the support info assumes is because the heads are too gunked up with hair and congealed moisturizer etc, so clean it. In my case it was because the motor had seized - I completely dismantled the razor and turned the cog attached to the motor spindle by hand while turning the razor on, which was enough to free it up and kickstart it - you'll need some torx screwdriver bits - remove the battery cover (it may be a bit sticky since it is wedged against a rubber seal that it may have stuck to, but it does just lift off, there's nothing to snap), remove the black plastic retainer underneath that which hides a couple of screws holding the head assembly (you may need to prise the battery up to get at them) - undo them and you should be able to pull the head assembly off and push the motor up from underneath to free the plate holding the three cogs driving the head - beneath that is a big cog attached directly to the spindle, spin that by hand while starting the razor and it should hopefully spring back into life since you'll have freed the seized spindle.
