How to repace battery in a Braun Razor model 7526?

SOURCE: Braun 7526 battery problem

Open the shaver:
1) Use a small flat screw driver pry off the bottom (where the cord plugs in)
2) Remove the silver sides
3) Using a small torq driver remove the 4 scews
4) Open shaver
5) Remove circuit board with batteries
6) Remove and replace circuit board with batteries (or solder in the new batteries)

This happened to me as well. Often the batteries will last longer than the rest of the shaver. You can obtain the batteries as cheaply as $12 a piece on "that auction site."


Opening a Braun 7000 Series Shaver

1) Find a thin metal object with no sharp edges (such as a nail file). Use your thumb and pull on the bottom end cord socket part, enough to cause a gap between it and the back shell. Insert the metal object into the gap in the center of the part. THEN pry it off. If you use a regular screw driver, you will likely cause gouges in the plastic. And the best leverage is in the center.

2) The silver side parts are held on by two tabs at the top. With the bottom piece gone, the side parts swing off easily. Don't worry about keeping track of which sides the silver trim pieces go on, as they're designed to fit on only one side (you'll see the cutout for the shaver head stem is off to one side).

3) The case is held together by 4 small torq screws. Use a torq screwdriver--do not attempt to do this with anything else. Be careful to turn the screws slowly, so you don't strip them.

4) With the screws removed, the two halves of the shaver will come apart. The remaining parts can be extracted without any special tools. Keep note of how they are removed, as assembly will be the reversal of removal.

5) Note that if you are replacing the batteries (there are two of them), you will need a soldering iron to detach them from the circuit board, unless you're replacing the whole part.

6) Reassembly is pretty much what you expect--the reverse of disassembly. However, the bottom cord socket part is tricky to get put into place. Pushing straight down on this part will not get it to go in, nor any other obvious way. It's best to get the prongs inserted on one side, then while pushing in on the prongs of the opposite side, apply pressure on the top side surfaces. The part should snap right back into place.

The trimmer is extended by the button on the opposite side.

The internal slider which turns the shaver on/off is broken:--- After you pry out the blue button. In the oval hole where the blue button was fitted you will see a thin metallic part (semi-circular shapes on each side); pull it out through the hole and the switch will be functional.But if its not turning off then its broken. When the shaver is turned on with the main On/Off slider, a spring moves a small slider inside to make contact with two areas on the circuit board. The small internal slider is broke in half, so when the main On/Off slider is moved to the off position, only half of the internal slider moves. The other half with the electrical contacts is staying in place on the circuit board, allowing the shaver to still operate.But if its broken then you will have to re-solder this metallic part and it should contact the circuit board to turn on/off.If you are not able to solder it,just get the take the metallic part and shaver to local electronic appliance repair center or at any local tv repair center.They deal will soldering jobs.Just get that metallic part to its exact position.So it functions properly. ---------------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.
