Braun Shaver 340s-4 teardown

Braun Shaver 340s-4 teardown.

This was bought new from Amazon in December 2016 and given as a gift. It ended up not working. I called Amazon and they painlessly refunded my money and didn't even want the shaver back. Further inspection shows clearly this was a heavily used item.

Thanks mate - my sideburn trimmer stopped working months ago and it's been hell cutting down the forest without it lol. With your help i got the trimmer off today and found several million bits of beard inside it, picked it all out with tweezers, got it all back together (broken plastic welds still broken lol) and managed to remove a forest from planet face in minutes rather than struggling with a normal razor. You sir are a hero.

Thanks to this video I have just managed to change out the worn out batteries in my razor with two Eneloops. It's crazy how strong it is again, I completely forgot that it used to be like this, in the last few years it was barely moving any more.

I have two of these - a 340 and an older 320. The 340 only has two diagonally opposed screws holding the two halves together just like yours. The 320 has all six screws. So, you are not missing four screws. Braun chose to save a few pennies and only use two. Looks like water got in.

I opened up the razor 320S, I had two screws and 4 screws missing as well. Apparently that's the way it supposed to be.
I changed the AA rechargeable batteries and I bend the battery's contacts slightly, so it will make better contact.
After, I had a little trouble to put it back together again and I missed a spring. Later I discovered this video, just to make sure I did the right thing in putting it back together. It works fine now.

Thanks, this helped me fixing my 340s-4!

I do not think he can get the razor back together.

Ich glaube nicht, dass er den Rasierapparat wieder zusammen bekommen.

To sum up, you don't really know how to solve the problem, proceeding by trial and error. And then how are you going to replace and reassemble everything? I remain perplexed. Thank you all the same for taking the time for the video. 🇲🇫♿️🙏

Producer should view monitor to see what is in shot

THANK YOU!!!!
Fixed my favourite electric razor.

[deleteme]

very cool to see inside, thank you! makes me appreciate mine, and handle it with a little bit more care...

[dgatwood]

Mine suddenly wouldn't turn off after getting only slightly wet. I disassembled it and found the same problems as yours: two screws instead of six and a missing o-ring around one of the two screws at the top. (You apparently didn't notice this, but you can see that same defect in your video at 3:46, and that is almost certainly why they have such serious water incursion problems.) If it had been only one, I'd write it off as a fluke, but two with the exact same unlikely-to-be-accidental flaws tells me that these are junk. Waterproof? Not even close.

[DaveNelson]

Thanks so much! Seeing how to take it apart, was able to find that some water which had rendered it unable to charge had not actually shorted a circuit, but only inside the stand had heated up the charging prongs, causing them to move enough (unseated from the plastic housing) to disconnect from the battery terminals inside. Put the soldering iron on that lil guy and nudged him back into place, and boom - razor charging!

[ioexception]

Handy little video! Thanks. My 340S had the same problem...

[Laguna]

how about an old braun micron plus teardown and reassembly? those things are tanks

[MrWinotu]

Thank you for this video! I replaced battery in my shaver :)

[cosmicaug]

By the way, the two screws by the head are extremely easy to break (ask me how I know).

[АмадейМоцартов]

Thank You! Your video helped me fix the razor.

[jeffrich]

It appears that you plugged the incoming mains of 117volts directly into the shaver. prob blew it up. The 117V goes into the charger.

[chiptenorio]

What size are the cells, looking to order some to replace mine before I tear it down. Great vid.

[gmlasam]

This is my favorite shaver, but the replacement foil/cutters are getting hard to find.
