Introduzione

A quick disassembly of my Philips HC5450 1415 /A. I needed to revive the batteries.

    • First step is to take off the front like you normally do when cleaning.

    • Pry off the silver bezel. This is attached pretty firmly. Start at the front, and go all the way. The front has tabs with a large hook, so it might only fully disassemble when you have pried it loose a long way and you are able to flex the bezel a little.

    • During this step, I broke the last tab of the silver bezel. Too bad, but the bezel is still firmly attached when reassembling.

    I started in the middle by the adjustment wheel and rested my prying tool on the adjustment wheel and lifted the silver bezel

    • Use a T8 Torx driver to remove the four screws.

    • Undo the top part of the black body. I started at the back. It is retained with clips, but is not as firmly attached as the silver bezel.

    • The PCB can now be taken out. The connection to the charging pins is not screwed or soldered, but a U-shaped connector that's just retained by friction.

    • The assembly is held in place by one Torx T8 screw, identical to those from step 3.

    • The ring of the length-adjustment-assembly can slide down. A little pin-and-spring will fall out - don't loose it! It is used to make the "clicking" feedback when rotating the ring.

    • I did not disassemble this assembly any further.

    Hi! what about the small plastic pin with the spring? when I opened it it fell down, I've got it, but I don't know where to put it, mounting it back.

You helped me replace batteries in otherwise completely fine trimmer. Thanks!

Anyway I also snapped the last silver clip...

Marek Ratvaj -

I joined ifixit just to say thank you for this. Trimmer working perfectly other than a dead battery. I just couldn't see how to get into it until I found this guide. Some advice for others:

Use the pry bar around every part of the bezel. I left the very bottom catch attached and broke it pulling on it. On the other hand, if you have to break one catch, that one is the least important.

A credit card makes a very good pry bar.

This battery seems better than the original in several ways: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0921ZJX11. It is cheaper. It is easier to install. It will likely be easier to uninstall.

Thanks for your help. All went as you described it - even the small broken pin :-)

Unfortunately I couldn’t replace the batteries, because they are welded to the PCB. Phillips don’t want the lifespan of their devises to be easily extended…

Cedric Marillat -

Just unsolder it from the circuit board. Obviously that requires a soldering iron and a solder sucker, but those are very useful purchases if you don't already own them. If you then replace with the battery I suggest, you wont even need the solder sucker next time you need to do the job.
