I have a Norelco SmartTouch-XL razor. Maybe 50 charges in 4 years (last charge lasted over a month). It just stopped working. I plugged it in, lights light up, no charge. Not sure if it's the battery or something else. Help.
It is doubtful that the battery is bad because they dont normally go bad suddenly. Usually, they will degrade slowly and hold a charge less and less before they stop working.
It sounds like you may have a loose connection somewhere. Check the leads from the circuit board to the moto and also the tabs that connect the battery to the circuit board. These sometimes break.
Here's a reply for the 4601X shaver if LED indicator fails to work after battery replacement: one solution, the voltage regulator part in back of the razor fell off. It's a reddish color item with metal prongs; it must be put back originally where there's a horizontal 'extension' line of the plastic case and the prongs go to the board/connector cord part. Take opportunity to clean the unit with air and lightly lubricate the motor with silicone spray, put it together carefully, tighten screws and slide it to proper voltage. Once done, the LED works and unit gets a little warm-it's now charging properly.
