WARNING to anyone who is using this guide to replace the batteries in their Braun Synchro shaver. The video guide stops at a critical moment - the point when you would actually replace the batteries!
It turns out that the batteries are glued to the orange circuit board, pretty firmly too. I wasn't too worried about this, I just angled in a screwdriver, twisted (hard), and cracked the glue seal. What I didn't realize was that the metal leads that connect the ends of the battery to the board, are soldered to the battery - so torquing out the battery broke the metal connector off the board. It snapped right at the base too - would be very difficult to fix without some decent soldering skills, which I don't have.
So my advice is simple - make sure to separate the batteries from their connections on both sides, before trying to remove the batteries. The metal connectors are quite thin and weak, and quite strongly fused, so good luck :-)
This is good advice from Jimmy C - we have a starter how-to here, the crucial part being the initial removal of the clip at the base, but there's more detail on YouTube especially with regard to detaching the batteries from their solder.
WHAT WOULD BE REALLY VALUABLE is info on the impenetrable SLIDER SWITCH that can lose its blue button and metal retainer spring. I'm on the verge of writing off my shaver that's in good working condition but won't turn off by breaking the switch apart to see how it works.
The slider switch has failed. It jams in one or two positions that make no difference. Mine is the Braun 7505, but essentially the same as the one here.
Anyone tackled the switch? Thx.
