This bodygroom was made for almost nobody coul disassemble and need to buy another one, thanks for the video

Had the same problem. Disassembly is easier when removing the 2 torx screws under the head. Batteries were fully loaded although it wouldn't turn on. Discharged with a scrap motor until the batteries were empty, then shorted them for a day until they were completely flat. Assembled an charged. Now it seems to work fine with original batteries.also removed a lot of hair from the shaft after removing the head. Next time i wil try to discharge the batteries with a diode to avoid that the cells discharge too deep

After watching this I took it to electronics shop since I dont have enough tools and told him to change the batteries. Just like you he tested batteries and told me they are all good and probably board is broken. I insisted to change batteries and told him it is gonna work. He didnt believe but he changed them. He is asking me now how this happens that it is working like brand new :) Thanks for saving me lots of money

Wow...unbelievable! My TT2030 was outright dead. It wouldn't hold a charge. After watching your video and reading the comments, I took it apart, detached the battery and then immediately resoldered it together again. Suddenly it is alive again and powering all of the attachments. No idea how long it will last, but the batteries tested fine. Planned obsolescence is absolutely criminal!

A big thank you for this video! Saved me buying a new BG2024 BodyGroom at £179! I paid about £70 originally! Got the batteries off eBay for just under £13. They put the polarity sticker on the wrong terminal, so good job I checked with a meter beforehand - something to look out for, those of you trying this fix. It's as good as new, in fact it seems faster! Thank you!

Talk about an unexpected ending, lol. Thank you for keeping it honest and not reediting after it was clear it was a battery issue.

I followed your video and let's share my experience. If you don't open the pinches very carefully the plastic gets deformed and after you assembled it they don't fit. So is not very waterproof but lets say is ok. About the batteries. I firstly putted 2 Phillips 800mah.A few years old but rarely used. They were good but didn't worked even after all night of charging i got the same orange blinking light. So i decided to buy 2 low level batteries from Kaufland 900mah and give it a try. And voala. They worked. After you solder the new batteries have to put it to charge for a minute even if the batteries were pre-charged. And also you have to solder very good cos there is no free space to fit the batteries back in place even for that tiny bridge with the cable between the batteries. Good luck and thank you for the video. Ow , i forgot. After the Philips batteries and before the new ones i tried again the ones from the manufacture. They worked but only for a few minutes and stopped. So there is no software that is programmed to stop from working but battery fault. And i totally agree that is way too complicated to fix. Must be masochist a bit to do it.

Desde Buenos Aires, Argentina. Excelente video!!!!! Ahorraré mucho dinero con esto!!!! Muchísimas gracias!!!!

Sharing my findings here... The issue is that the motor has a high inrush current and the microcontroller immediately stops powering the motor once the battery voltage drops below 1.75V or there about. Presumably, fresh batteries would have a lower drop so it works fine. Same for old batteries if one tries to start the device immediately after charging for a long time. Another thing I noticed is that once the microcontroller has decided that the battery is too low, it won't even attempt to start the motor again until the charger is connected even for just a moment. After that it will attempt again. I tried to add a big capacitor on the battery terminals but that wasn't enough. The motor draws about 0.5A when running, so the inrush current is several times that. I did manage to prove the issue by connecting a 1 ohm resistor in series with the motor. That limits the inrush current and the microcontroller keeps powering it, so it works fine. Sadly, it's not a real fix as the resistor would slow down the motor a bit and dissipate heat (about 250mW), which would not be a good thing in such a small enclosed space. Long story short, I have not found a good fix and decided to order new batteries. IMHO it's not planned obsolescence, just a bad design.

I soldered fresh rechargeable batteries into my BG2026 (no fancy eneloop, but from ikea because that's what i had access to). first it showed the same behaviour with the blinking orange light, but after charging for a couple of minute it works again. thanks for the video! I broke a few of the plastic brackets when opening though, but it still holds together.

Thanks for your video

Great video, subscribed.

Thank you very much. Batteries replaced here.

Fantastic video, will do the trick and disconnect the stock batteries and see how it goes!

This tip will save you the trouble of dissasembling and save you some moolah! If you simply just charge the groomer for just 5-10 minutes only this normaly resets the faulty batteries so you can use it for at least 15 minutes but try not to turn it off inbetween....otherwise it will red light and power down. However sometimes you might find that it can be turned off and on at least 3 or 4 times! Either way as long as you only charge the groomer for 5-10 minutes each time you want to use it you should be good to go. Excellent Video by the way.

Tanks you for this video

Thanks for this revealing video. I also have a bodygroom that flashes red after short use. But I found out if you put it in the charging station for a short time (10sec is enough) you can use it as normal. So that means the batteries are still good, but the device no longer turns on.

Thanks fir the video

Same thing in my case. Its either bad electronics or planned obsolescence. Easiest way to find out is to remove the existing cells and connect it directly to the motor leads and the razor will run perfectly. I didn't throw mine away. I removed the connecters from the batteries and use themin my remote. As for the razor, I'm keeping it to cannibalize it later for the motor/led/switch/shaving foil. Later I bought an old discontinued model which uses rechargeable AA batteries.

Hello, I had the same problem. There seems to be an internal counter where the shaver then stops working even with a full battery. After inserting new Eneloop AAA batteries I have the shaver only once briefly connected to the charger and the shaver worked again. Possibly the existing battery only times briefly disconnect from the electronics and then times briefly give to the charging station. Should then have the same effect as with the new batteries! Even with a connected laboratory power supply the shaver did not work. Putting it on the charging station seems to reset it. Greetings Chris

Thanks to your video, I managed to install 2 new Eneloop in my BG2036. But it doesn't even reach 10 minutes of autonomy when charging about the same amount of time (full charging always ends with a orange blinking light...). If only we could have the technical schematics of the pcb and then identify the culprit ! But very curiously, I have 2 other Philips shavers (hair and beard) that still have quite some of juice after 10 years of use for one and a little less for the other ! Can't understand why these bodygroom are so different in this area...

Hi Ultimate DIY . Thanks for video. Could you tell us how new batteries behavior after few months? Does the electronics kills new batteries as well?

Since there is only V and A, and a discharge rate for the device involved, I would assume their circuit sees a voltage drop under a load and kills it. The new batteries are able to offer enough current to not trip the kill switch in the circuit would be my guess.

I have same machine 10 years and its worked great. Only i changed once a blade. Now i have problem with battery,and soon i need to say goodbye to my groomer if its not possible to change it

Hi, what is the exact size for the orange one battery? i tried to buy them online but found more than 10 sizes and that got me confused 😕

The reason why the BG will refuse to turn on after voltage is below a certain level is to prevent the cutter to move that slow or with that less power that hair might get stuck or hair ziepen might occur.

I have tried many screws to separate the head but nothing works. Please let me know what kind of screw driver works?

Can i use any aaa nimh recharge battery or just eneloop? Please with model you use? Thx for great video, i will to replace new one

did u get red/green lights blinking in sequence when you change batteries and put to charge the shaver again? because thats what happening to me, i disconnect the batteries for almost a year, because only during 10 minutes or less with full charge, so now replace batteries but not even charging

What are the specifications of the battery, how many volts

Where did you buy the accus from? Are they normal 1.5v accus? That soldering part scares me. Especially since on my 2030 the solder dots on the circuit board are tiny.

Buenos dias, desde España. He cambiado las bateria siguiendo tus pasos. Me carga bien, pero no funciona, aparece como sino estan cargadas. Las he dejado cargando unas 48 horas. Me podrías decir a que se debe.... Un saludo, un video genial, te felicito.

What are the specs for the batteries? Just AAA Ni-MH?

How can i find the same original battery or another good brand ? cuz my tt2030 isn't easy to replacement every 3or4 times using.

What if you just shorted the batteries at the charging nubs on the device. Would that help?

JUST TO ASK WHY ON FRONT LOW WHERE IT IS WRITTEN IN SUPER SHALL LETTERS I NEADED MAG GLASS TO SEE BUT UNDER MODEL BG2024 ,THERE IS 8 V AND DC MARK SO I AM CONFUSED 2 SERIES CELLS YOU PUT IN SHOULD GIVE 3 PLUS MINIS SMALL VOLTAGE , AND IT LOOK OLD CELLS WERE SINGLE CELL X2 EACH 1,5 VOLT NO MORE // I SAW OTHER 2 BIG GREEN ACCUMULATORS IN YOUR CHARGER TESTER no 1 and 2 Had 3,5 plus VOLTS PER CELL //AND ON THE ORANGE BLAVK BODYGROOM 8 WOLT MEAN WHAT // PLEASE AND LOOK UNSED BG 2024 THERE SAY 8 VOLTS//NOW WHY WOULD YOU CHARGE 3 VOLT BATTERY BANK WITH 8 VOLTS I DON KNOW PERHAPS YOU DO //PS IT IS REALY HARD SO SEE BUT ON ADAPTOR THERE IS 220 AS TO 8 DC WRITTEN SO THIS BODYGROOM HAD ORIGINAL 8 VOLT CHARGE //IS IT POSSIBLE OLD ACCU U TOOK OUT WERE 3,5 MULTI LINK IN AA SIZE// ID BET IT IS SO IF YOUR OLD WERE NOT SHOW 1,3 PER BATT

Philips BG7025/15 you have a vídeo? Thanks

My silver one doesn't shut off unless I pull the heads off, then it will... weird.

If I put a higher capacity accu is wrong ?

This should invite competition for someone to make one that has easily replaceable batteries... but sadly, all of them play the planned obs. game.

Algum brazuca conseguiu e pode me ajudar, por favor?

Very smooth! Too bad philips uses such bad batteries

I KNOW BIG ARE LAPTOP I JUST DO NOT KNOW WHY PHILIPS BG2024 GOT 8V //1Watt written where 2 charging contacts are //but why 8 volt charger if it run on around 3v//2 x 1,5 series// you can see on bottom next to charger contacts on orange it say bg2024 and under 8V,,, 1W/watt / and i never seen volt and watt normal is volt and MILIAMPS//SO WHY TO CHARGE 3V ACCU BANK WITH 8 VOLTS //CAN YOU EXPLAIN /

I fixed my Bodygroom the same way basically and it said the same thing the batteries weren't charged. I then discovered if I put the the shaver in the charger base and then take it back out it reset the electronics and then it told me tell me it was charged.

Thanks for This Video! I have the second model. What i learn? Never buy again a Philips!

Same here. Fully charged replacement batteries and no function. Reassembled and left in charging station for a day and now its working fine. Seems electronics has to reinitialize in some way after replace batteries. I'am using Philips shaving devices for a long time now and want to say, most are great products. Batteries do not live for ever, so what.

i need to see how the motor is conected to the circuit 🤬 you show everything and no how motor is conected

Thanks for your video
