Hi, in this video today I attempt to repair some Philips Hair Clipper Pro QC5339 so I can give myself a haircut. These were purchased from eBay for 99p (excl. postage) and are unused.
If RUclips doesn't work out then I can go into hairdressing....MyMateVincenzo, 50% discount for the follicly challenged.

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series. Many thanks, Vince.
Thank you!
The link is in the description!
I am so happy to be mentioned in my favourite channel!
(Can not link a Facebook link in comments.)
Great video as always!
I think ive followed the fan club of My Mate Vince he is a legend
Where else can you find a teardown of a hair clipper? Nowhere. That's why I love this channel. The mixture of totally random things that pop up is amazing.
Thanks Nandi, I just took delivery of a very unusual item today. Hopefully it will be on the channel in around a month 👍 If I can fix it hopefully I can unearth some treasure 😉

Is IT dynamite or TNT. ?
JCB? Corroded battery terminal?
So that's what Vince looks like, looking sharp there mate with the haircut. As always a enjoyable repair to watch.
The reason the battery's have not charged is a safety feature in the circuitry...If the battery's drop below a certain voltage the circuit will not start the charging and cuts all power to the whole unit. When you removed the battery and charged it out of circuit it brought the voltage up allowing the circuit to charge once the battery was placed back in circuit. As for why the battery dropped so low it was probably just left to long NiMah don't hold there charge like lithium battery's.
I've just had a similar problem with our cordless Vax. My daughter ran the battery until it stopped, didn't turn it off and put it back in the cupboard. When I tried to charge it there was nothing. I opened up the battery and went straight on to the battery pack with the bench top power supply for 5 minutes. That was enough charge for the charger to recognise the pack and fully charge it once more. I have had the same issue with Dewalt batteries on my cordless tools and done the same thing. It makes you wonder how many devices and battery packs end up in land fill just because they are a couple of volts below the threshold.
@@bobuilt10 That’s really such a shame... There are probably so many people that threw their stuff away just like that....
That's one of their downfalls - self-discharge over time.
About 11 years ago I had a problem with a mobile phone I owned, it just didn't charge, I think it lit for a second then nothing, I think I got it working after constant removing then reattaching cable to give it a split second of power about 20 or 30 times then it charged!
I know the punchline is “I cut my own hair with a 99p set of clippers” but I haven’t worked out the joke yet!
Also, good to finally see your face! I know you didn’t hide from the camera back in the Mr. Telephone days but this is the first time we’ve seen you properly in a good few years!
Yeah you're right, it sounded better in my head...I have changed the title 🤣🤣 It has been a long time since I was this side of the camera, made a nice change rather than just the disembodied hands over the blue mat 👍
We have seen Vince's face in the videos with push ups with his son 😊
I think you saved a dumpster full of electronics from a final destination. 👍
He is the final destination now

You can cut your own hair... "If you're not bothered about how you look" 🤣 Nice fix as always Vince 👍
🤣🤣 That would be a good one for 'merch'.
Do it!
That comment killed me.
And then still ends up with a super nice hair cut.
Happy to support @Vince! Enjoying the repairs and your presentation method. Keep the content coming and wished you and yours the best.
Much appreciated and likewise with you and your family too 👍
The reason why the battery didn't charge is likely because of a battery protection mechanism activating as the battery has dropped below the threshold voltage which protects the battery, device and user in case a battery fail; it essentially disables charging and the power up of the device. By taking it out and charging it on a external charger you're bypassing the shaver's protection mechanism and allowing the battery to once again receive charge. The batteries should be good without needing to be replaced. Overall a brilliant fix as always. Also a brilliant haircut you did yourself and I think it would be great to see your face more often in the videos.
Thanks for the video Vince and thanks to everyone who supports the channel so I can watch more Trying to Fix videos
I'm using the same Philishave now for more than 20 years. During its life, it got 4 battery swaps already. I just use regular AA NiMH batteries with short wires soldered to the terminals.
Your clippers have a charging circuit with some level of intelligence. There's a buck regulator, indicator LEDs and probably also a safety shut-off.
This clipper's dead cell could also be shocked back into life by connecting a freshly fully charged battery in parallel to the dead one for 10 to 20 seconds or until something gets hot. After that, connect the charger and give it a full charge. For a never used device, that would be a valid fix: those batteries are still new.
I was just going to mention something about the batteries. I do the same thing. I just solder some tabs to regular Eneloop batteries to fix these items - should last MUCH longer to boot, too. I think I saw a '650' on one of the batteries in here, whereas Eneloop will be 2000mah.
what a resoult... another saved item, another to be well used item. congrats. to whatch you go from 0 to mayby 70 through out your yt try to fix videos (if you dont mind only couse there are some professionals that are a bit better than you, thats why the 70 progression) motivated me to start fixing things. i recently fixed 2 old style mobiles 1 of whitch had an unsuccessfull visit to a technician. the phone was charging but eating rappidely through the battery that was new. it simply needed an ipa clean and a cap from a reboncable was shorting to another one. the technician said that the phone needed a reset whitch i already had done about 5 times. the other phone was a case of a dearty botton contacts. thank you vince for what you do. you save not only the devices that pass from your hands but also encouraging many other people to do so and that to an extend saves the world literelly, saves the planet. thank you and keep goingno mater what.
Love watching all the fixes on this channel.., I bought a pair of corded clippers during the first lockdown & always cut my own hair now!.., don’t let the Mrs see the sink covered in hair!
The $6.00 haircut! Looking sharp! I have many similar clippers that are all rubbish, so your repair inspired me to try to repair one of mine. I failed and wound up with a half beard! Thank goodness for old fashioned razors so I didn't look like the fool. Cheers!
Nice to see you Vince. When I see title “Trying to fix...” from you I first give a like and then I start watching. Great videos. Keep going.
That was a close shave! Great job getting it working again =D It's quite common for things like this with batteries for the battery to go totally flat, at which point it wont charge it. That may be because its so flat its drawing more current than the charge circuit permits. You could see that as a safety feature, but as you say - on batteries of this type, it's fine to charge them up from totally flat. Some of the life of the battery will be lost from letting it drain to zero in the past etc, but I've recovered products myself like this before, just by manually charging the battery to get it off the 0 level etc.
His wife is downstairs looking up at the ceiling thinking..... he’s found her hiding place 😂
*Buzzing noise from Living Room late at night* - "Sorry love, watching My Mate Vince" - Great video buddy!
Haha 🤣🤣
Hi Vince, just wanted to say i have been going back and forth between all your video's and a must say.... they bring the appetize to try and fix things myself :)
Awesome repair Vinnce! It's cool how you saved that set of clippers from going to the bin!
The guy on the box looks a bit like you
true
I think it was, a bit of self promotion
Impressive job with the haircut (and of course the repair as always)! You're making me wonder if I can do a decent job on my hair with the clippers I've got but I've never been brave enough to try 😄
A bargain for those clippers now that you got it working.....great video.
Styling and profiling, Vince! Nice fix mate, have a great one!
I had a rotary shaver which plugged into AC and took forever to charge. One day it wouldn't charge so I took it apart and removed the battery and everything except the motor and switch. I replaced the internal battery with a battery holder from an old solar garden light and it worked great. I can now use rechargeable batteries as well as alkalines in a pinch. I had these 15 minute rechargeable batteries at the time and I've used this setup for many years until the heads broke.
You know you've made it when you get a fan club 💪👌👍
Always loved how things are said in EU compared to the States. Love the videos Vince i learn so much and my soldering skills have gotten loads better watching you.
Sacrifices the body hair for the video! Bravo, braver than I!
Fixed an item, got a haircut. Brilliant! Btw: I really like the music you used in this video.
34:12 Vince goes to all lengths to entertain his audience including shaving his arm! This video has earned a like from me ;-)
That should be the motto of this channel, "lets plug it in and see"
I use a Philips Norelco Electric Shaver myself, and it's waterproof, has a rechargeable battery, and a removable head which can be cleaned easily. Definitely expensive, but worth it.
Great repair and another great Vid. I honestly thought the not running when plugged in was a a safety feature or something. I was wrong again. Great to see you repairing stuff other people throw away. I absolutely agree it looked totally unused. Another solid video, the male model at the end really was a nice touch.
It's good to Vince back in front the camera instead of behind the camera, Great video and nice to see something different on the channel, Keep the brilliant work you do 😊 😊 ☺
A FB club! I just started a Facebook page (yes anti-social media I am) so thank you for shouting that out Vince. Maybe Anders will let me join ;) Thank you Vince for another great video!
Wow, cutting your own hair for years? That explain why your haircut looked so good!
Love the videos Vince. You’ve been one of my favorite channels on RUclips for a long time. Keep up the good work.
Off topic. I like that round glass tile backsplash in your bath. Very nice.
I have those exact same hair clippers. I’ve had it a few years now and there’s never been any issues with them, awesome clippers tbh. Great video as I’d there are any issues with them I can try and fix them 🤗.
Ah shoot!...Now the mystery is gone! I would have preferred if you had remained a "mystery" man! Oh well . the videos are still THE BEST!!!
Keep up the good work
On occasion when I have a dead NiMH that will not take a charge I zap them with 12 volts. Then place them into the charger, it was a trick we used to do with flat NiCd many years ago.
You're brave showing all those hair clippings in the sink - my wife would have gone berserk!
Good job! And you just gave me an idea or two to try on my dad's rechargeable screwdriver which isn't taking a charge 👍
Brilliant haircut Vince. 👍
Haha and I just watched a video when Techmoan mentioned his hair clippers.
It's like they all know they share the same niche audience and they all coordinate to keep people guessing
WOOOOWWW! GOD OF FIXER, VERY HELPFUL. THANKS,
A Hair raising fix-well done!
I agree with @Simon Wilkinson, the circuit has a safety feature that when the one battery/both batteries drop below a certain level, then the circuit breaker as it should be called kicks in to stop the batteries from being recharged, and renders a lot of things useless due to the cost of replacement of the batteries being replaced by a professional, or risking a diy job, or buying a replacement. diy would be easier but probably not enough videos on youtube on how to replace batteries in a specific item.
I don't believe it's necessarily "dangerous" for NiMH batteries/cells to go completely flat and they won't develop a memory the same as NiCads... It's not usually a good idea for them to stay discharged and since there are two cells in series that kept the device from running either plugged in or not. Nice score Vince and you look very dashing with your new haircut. BTW I've not seen the inside of a barber's shop in more than a decade (I shave my head and trim my beard myself)... Looking forward to more Trying to Fix videos!
It's nice to have a face to the voice. :)
Nice fix. Pretty decent haircut too Vince. My strategy is to go almost full skin head to avoid having to cut it for as long as possible (hence the hat in my profile pic) 🤣🤣
My Phillips shaver does the same thing. Works with power cable or battery. But if the batteries drop to the level where it powers off I have to have it on charge at least 10 seconds before I can run it from the cable.
Nice vince, I've got the slightly newer version of this and am happy with it
Nice repair. I can only assume that although there may not be a chip on the battery, there may be a chip on the shaver which recognises there is a low charge and auto stops charging/putting charge in.
My guess based on my experience repairing game boys is that the corrosion that built up did something to stop power from getting through to power the unit, even when plugged in. I had a gameboy I thought was completely dead due to corrosion on the battery terminals, and even plugging it in with an AC adapter didn’t make it work. However, after a significant cleaning, it started to work with the adapter. Sadly the battery terminal traces were gone, so-without jumper wires-it was unable to work via battery power.
Loved the video! Just applied for membership to your fan club. Finally, got a face reveal to see what mymatevince looks like.
I work with Medical equipment and one thing we discovered. When the batteries in our EKG machines die, the EKG will still operate but you will not get a print out. I am not fully sure why that that is, but that razor may be operating in much the same way.
From playing with RC cars NiMH batteries can be damaged from being left flat. But it usually manifests as a smaller capacity, with them still able to be fully charged and used.
Nice fix. Oh and nice haircut too!
Wow, the Hitachi boombox on the Roland Rat cover is exactly like the one my father uses to this day 😅
Also, I used to get my hair done at home, using clippers like that, always went a #3, but then a #3 started becoming too short, unfortunately every clipper can come with different sizes, so a #3 on one isn't necessarily the same as a #3 on another.
I was also told by various hairdressers over the years that hair cut with clippers grows back faster, and I've personally found this to be true. With clippers my haircut is every 5 weeks, with scissors (and a little electric clipper to tidy up around the ears, etc... at the end) my haircut is every 10 weeks.
So for me, it's off to a no-appointment hairdresser every 10 weeks.
Nice to see your face and nice music, it sounds like it is from one of those settler type strategy games.
Only just started watching the vid, about 2mins in, but couple of things just from the beginning: Just because it looks clean, doesn't mean it is new :) I'm very good with keeping things like that clean. My original electric tooth brush (Oral-B really fancy expensive one, Triumph model) looked pristine for its first 5yrs, but then it started deteriorating, and by year 10 the rubber had fully worn away.
My current electric tooth brush (Another Oral-B fancy one) I've had for 2yrs now and still looks as new as the day I bought it.
Secondly, I've had electronic devices where if the battery is dead, the unit won't work regardless of whether you give it AC power or not.
Nintendo DS Lites are like this, they won't even turn on if there isn't something present on the battery contacts, I had an old laptop, where if you removed the battery pack, the laptop wouldn't turn on with the charger, because the charger just kept the battery charged, the battery was what was powering the laptop even with the AC plugged in (It was an HP Compaq laptop).
Cracking fix vince..nice barnet too...!!
I had just invested £35.00 yesterday on a well known brand of professional hair clippers.
Going to bed now with the hump.
Great Vid though Vince .
I have to say that's a pretty nice haircut 👌
I had a very similar problem with a rechargeable remington recently, the batteries do discharge at slightly different rates and occasionally need to be charged separately if they get too out of sync, as the charger balancer won't charge if this happens.
Pretty sure these will only run from the mains if the charger is running, which it will stop doing so if it thinks the batteries are full, or faulty.
Great repair as always.
My missus: Who you watching?
Me: My Mate Vince
My Missus: I've never heard of him! He can't be that much of a mate...
Me: ...
🤣🤣🤣
Nice fix
Sir
And the hair cut was good❤️👍
I know the reason why. I have previously repaired LiPo powerbanks and NiMH trimmers that don't charge/discharge at all. All it takes is to disconnect the batteries from circuit and reconnect to start charging/use. This resets the charging IC and starts working normally. Most trimmers usually use a most minimal dumb circuits.
Music was epic haha great vid
what you'll probably find is that there is a charge controller IC on the board, that if it registers the batteries as below a certain threshold, it declares them as defective and will not allow current to flow through the circuit, forcing a charge into the battery will wake up that IC and will now allow charging and operation mate
another great fix good on you pard
Excellent, as always! However, Vince, you need to get your eyes checked, mate, if you think there is more brown than gray in that hair 🤣!
My Biltema clippers stopped charging the Li-ion battery. I removed the battery and patched the terminals directly to the DC port. Now I use it with a simple USB power bank .
It's a fix, excellent job 👌
Another great video vince
Good video keep doing videos like this
This happens sometimes to my rechargeable AA and AAA batteries. They get flat and then the charger doesn’t recognise them. I just take a 9V battery with a couple of leads and just give the battery a “jump start”.
Hey Vince. Well done. You should always do the conclusion of a video in front of the camera. :-)
Hey Vince have you considered merchandise? You can throw something together very quickly such as just MMV logo on hat/mug/t-shirt/sweater and use a prebuilt storefront. Or spend a lot of time and do repair mats and tools (spudgers, screwdrivers etc.). Up to you.
Also I think you'd do well monetarily with live streams. I think the drama of not knowing whether you can fix the item or not would be very compelling for the audience (although I know you don't like idle time in videos). And you can edit it down to a usual video afterwards. Just a thought as it's not for everyone - and it is a bit more work.
You could be on to something about a live stream, although to combat the length and idle time do it as a premier. Still has the feel of being live with the chat, but with the idle bits pre-edited. Also instead of Vince being distracted trying to keep up with chat, he could interact with it no problems.
The charging voltage of the batteries are always slightly higher than the nominal voltage of the battery. So, to test if the charging circuit is working you should put the meter leads across the batteries and check the voltage with an without the charger plugged in. The voltage between the batteries should be different when is charging.
Cool bg music :) greetings from Poland :)
Honestly, the haircut is even more amazing than the fix.
nice fix and a nice roggy!
A very good haircut! ;)
The fibers inside the battery have to be shocked back to life. Easier fix is to plug it into the charger 🔌 and then quickly plug it and unplug it from the wall about 10 times.
Hey Vince. Who is that handsome devil at 36:33? You hanging out with movie stars again? 🤣
Good video dude
as a user of a vaporizer for a few years with similar style batteries you want to replace both batteries for safety concerns keep them paired up
Great vid fella 👍👍
Nice work, Vince. You could send Anders those hair clippings so he can sell them via his Fan Club......or maybe clone you
Would love to see a haircutting tutorial, had a shaved head since 1976 and have let both my beard grow and me barnet too and I have abs no idea on how to give the topmop a trim :S
Nice trim
NiMh? Jokers. Minimum voltage detection before initiation of charge is pretty common with microprocessor controlled chargers as a safety measure. Problem is you can't charge when batteries are dead flat. Trickle charging for a short while is enough to get them above the detection voltage. Swapping them is straightforward except when they have spot welded tabs. Don't solder batteries. Good job mate.
Any plans to make another switch / ps4 video? Would love to see one of those things get fixed
You could start using community posts to announce videos so that people can help you with suggestions before you start the repair.
Great to see you. Its been a while. I dont think you posted yourself in your videos since the networking videos or early fix it ones.
