Awesome video. Thanks for pioneering. I just opened my wife's one with a spatula ...gives wider surface and doesnt damage as much. Video was super helpful. Thanks
Hi! I just ordered a new battery for my wife's device. It is not loading anymore after some years of non using. Thank you very much for showing your experience! :)
Many thanks for your class. The charger of my wifes'device is ok, so it means that I'm facing the same problem with batteries as you. Many thanks from marco aurelio from Brazil. God bless you!
Olá Marco Antônio, também estou com o mesmo problema meu aparelho parou de carregar, comprei a bateria pelo Aliexpress. Só que não sei como trocar 😢 . Você resolveu o problema do seu aparelho?
⚠️ Thanks for this, I tried it and work for me, but the issue I'm facing now that when I start using it work for 3-4 shots, then It turn off by itself, then I turn it on and continue for another 3-4 ! I don't know if this is from the battery or from capacitor or something else... Please advise...
I wish you could have done a total teardown and description of all the internal parts and exactly how these devices work as I cant find such a teardown and review anywhere online. Thank you for doing at least this much.
I only have limited budget to do the teardown. As This is the only one my wife had. Only if the channel grows then I would do more teardown videos. Sorry for that
Firstly - you DO NOT USE metal spatulas or screwdrivers to open plastic case of any device. Secondly - HEAT UP EDGES of case and use plastic tools - it opens without any issues and does not cause any damage to clips or plastics itself.
It's 2 18650 2500mah 20amp batteries. Brands like Samsung, LG, Sony will be fine. Get a reputable brand. If you are from the UK, you can buy it from fogstar online

Hi, I am wondering if you can help. Are you able to explain please how I can open up the Philips Lumea BRI947? The head has come apart slightly from one side, but I can push it back in and too scared to pull it in case it breaks? Many thanks.
Can't do much about it, cos this device is too expensive, and can't go to thos laser treatment centre, 1. is too expensive 2. the lock down. And I can afford to buy another one, since the device is so expensive. Like I said if they can just make the device with a replacement battery compartmnent, they will make more money. Be it, if its only using their own batteries. Ppl will buy to replace the batteries.
You don't need to change battery or open Lumea. It happened to my Lumea as I did not touch it fir years. When I will connect it to its charger, it will show as if its fully charged but this charging will not last more than a minute. I kept using and charging it every time, perhaps 20 times and slowly the battery now revive and is taking full charge, this charge is lasting quite long even better than new latestmodel lumea I bought which even doesn't work on light brown skin but the old model does work on Asian skin colour on bikini area.
Hi, i bought a Philips Lumea Sc1997 one year ago, but now i tried on the legs and when i switched the heads didn't work anymore..the fan is working, the ready light is flashing the white colour but the flash didn't come on at all..i cleaned the lens..switched on/off but not working..what should i do? In my country there is not a company for suppourt philips. Thanks
Sorry, I can't help you in this. Did you try to flash it on the skin? Once it runs out of flash, you can't used it anymore, maybe you have used the flashes to a certain extent?Maybe try to search online for solution. Sorry
I plugged my device in after a long time and it didn't charge.even the lights of my device did not turn on. is the problem just running out of battery?

Hi everyone ,if your device (Philips Lumea Precision)stop charging after you did not use it for more than 3 month ,batteries go to sleep mood and just need to awake them, you do not need to replace batteries only spend £1 to buy resistor (RS PRO 180Ω Carbon Film Resistor 2W ±5% )from uk.rs-online.com/web/p/through-hole-fixed-resistors/7078833/ and again no need to open the device as this man showing on this footage ,At the bottom of the Lumea there is a little bluish cover where one inserts the charger. This is easily pried out with a small screwdriver or tool alike. Then, two screws are exposed and by removing those and prying out once more the bottom case from the front side of the tool, you immediately see the red and black cables. Push one end of the resistor into the inside of the barrel of charger (it’s easier to do if you bend the resistor lead back onto itself to make a snug fit) Connect the other end of the resistor to the red (positive) terminal, and hold it there with e.g. a clothes peg. Plug in and turn on the plug for the Lumea charger. Leave charging like this for about half an hour. Disconnect your resistor from the battery pack, and try plugging the barrel into the usual socket on the Lumea. It should light up and charge normally - if not, try repeating the connection between barrel, resistor and terminals in case you didn’t get a good connection the first time. Once charging normally, let the Lumea charge up fully. And you won’t forget to keep it charged every couple of months again, will you? If you need help please let me know ,i am hapey to help you ,my device was not use for near 5 years and i did fix it as above method. for pictures go here lazyadmin.nl/diy/fixing-your-lumea-battery-charging-issue-for-less-than-11e1/ thanks.

I'm facing the same problem with a BRI 956. I will let you know. I bought it at ebay really cheap as spare part. So for me it is no big deal if it has some marks.

You could access the batteries from the bottom of it. 1. Pry out the bottom bit first where charger plugs in. There are 2 screws underneath the oval plastic cover
2. Unscrew the torx screws
But then how to disconnect the PCM wire above the battery slot?
I broken cavers but thanks for your kind favour
Thank you :-).
