Nail Drill Hand Piece Repair- fixing your Melody Susie hand piece (especially after chalk death) 

Girl!!! You are truly a blessing!! You just saved my life!! I had to put mine back together and had no idea what I was doing…. I RU-vid’d it and found your video! Thank you so much!!! You just don’t know how much this helped me!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you soooo much! Game changer for nail techs! We need more people like you!

Girl thank you so much! This video saved me from buying a whole new drill! Took mine apart to clean it and I didn’t realize I had dropped the two little washers or bearings until I saw your video. I have carpet on the floor so they were buried in there but I took a bag of magnets that I have for magnetic polish and rolled it over the carpet until they picked up the two little washers/bearings. I put the drill back together as per your video and voila! It works beautifully! 😊

I had to subscribe! My daughter accidentally “broke” my hand piece and I was devastated that I had to go buy a whole new drill. Although, something was telling me that I could fix it, looked up “how to fix melody susie nail drill and you were the first to pop up! Thank the universe that you did lol 🤣 My nail drill is working as if it was new. Thank you! 🤗

Omg thank you I am so glad I found your video I owe you in a BIG WAY I literally was about to cry I have 5 clients and I was scared that I was going to have to reschedule them….. you are a life saver thank you again

Thank you!!! Showed me just what I needed to see. I took it apart to clean and pieces went everywhere. About to buy a new one but then I found ur video!

OMG!!! MY PRONGS WERE BENT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I GAVE MINE A GOOD CLEANING WHILE I WAS AT IT AND ITS AS GOOD AS NEW! GREAT TUTORIAL AND I'M SO GLAD YOU HAD THAT EBAY EXPERIENCE!🤭😍

A perfectly laid out video with all the info I'd want to know! I can understand you clearly, the visuals are great, and it worked well, too! Thank you so much!

🎉 THANK YOU!!!! My drill has quit working all together but following your directions fixed it. ❤

Thanx so much! What a game changer. After 4 years a little maintenance was needed for my drill. It is like new again❤

Your an ANGEL 😇 for the video. My Melody Suzie stopped working. I was in tears 😭. This helped so much and it's not the time to be buying new tools. Thanks so much.

Omg!!!! You are a freaking life saver. I have been with out mine for 2 years and I was going to throw and by a new one as the was a new one 2 years ago and only used a handful of times. And the base would work but the lock or drill will turn and I followed your steps and now is working like new!!!! Omg I’m soo happy

Omg thank you so much. You just saved me from buying another drill. You don’t know how happy this just made me.

i’ve had my nail drill for almost 2 years. i got it as a gift from my mom & it just stopped working. i tried to take it apart myself & i couldn’t get it working. but after i watched this is working like i just bought it. thank you !!!!!!!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!! I have a melody Susie drill, that I LOVE! I've only had it.... eight months, little under a year. And its stopped working. I've never grinded chalk with it, nor would I. I'm not gonna lie, I have tried the chalk thing, but I used an old, really cheap drill for that. And it STILL WORKS! I think I paid $20 for it, maybe little less, it was cheap. And it's probably five years old. I honestly dunno how the thing is still working. Lol. But it burns, it don't go slow enough for natural nails, don't go fast enough for acrylic. I mostly use it for my toes and the chalk thing. Anyway, enough of my rambling about that. My melody Susie is PERFECT! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! Well, was perfect, I did love it. It started just rattling, then it stopped. The numbers will come on, I can feel the hand piece trying to start, kick on, but won't. When I tried moving the bit myself it would start going around but slowly, and would stop as soon as I would apply any pressure. Now it won't come on even if I move the bit to try n get it going. But I can still hear and feel it trying to start, kick on...... I'm gonna try this cleaning thing. I hope it works! Mine may be something different though. I've used it a bunch, never cleaned it, didn't know I could. Never used a guard. But I've been SO SO careful with it! Haven't dropped it, misused it any way. I really can't afford a new one, my old one as I said is junk. But I've got one in my cart, was about to place the order and let my baby daddy/ boyfriend bitch for spending the money (which he will do) ...... okay this is long enough, too long, sorry! If you never read this I won't blame ya! But if you do and have any advice other than cleaning let me know plz. Haven't tried cleaning yet, gonna try it. But if that's not the problem I hate to go through all that. Especially with my son running around lol..... okay thanks again! Lots of love and God bless!

Thank you for this video! my hand piece fell apart an I did not know hot to put it back together have been searching all over and finally found your video!!

Thankyou for this advice, had my melodysusie 4 months and it packed up on me at a patients house (I’m a mobile foot Health Practitioner) I ordered a new one straight away. Then thought I’ll look for trouble shooting online and came across your video. Fantastic!!!! I took it apart as you did and cleaned it out, I think moisture got in it as it looked a bit rusty. So I sprayed wd40 on the inside of it all. It’s works like new. I shared this video with my other FHP friends. Thanks again.

I almost threw out my drill until I saw this video. I took it apart and cleaned it and it works great again . Thank you for this video.

Thank you so much I was just doing my nails when it fell apart 😭 I was so sad thought it broke some how but now I got it back together and cleaned it 🥰 so happy I had my drill for 2 years now and happy that I got it to work again 💖

Thank you so much I’m a nail tech and brought a $100 drill two months ago and I was just so sad thinking about all the money I spent just for it to work for only two months….. It needed to be cleaned 😂😂 omg I can not thank you enough ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I took it apart when it was not working and couldn't figure out how to out it back. Can't even return it unless it's back together 🙈 you saved me!

❤ another drill saved. I accidentally uncrewed the cone and everyrhing popped out. I couldnt get the pieces back in place until i found this. Thank you! I'm going to see what other helpful videos you have.

I’m having trouble opening it 😢

This video was a LIFE SAVER OMG!! Thank you so much!!!

I love this video so much! Mine was shaking and making noises when I turned it up to 20 or above. I cleaned it out and it's smoother now than when I bought it. Thank you!

OMG!!! Where have you been all my life? I so needed this video. Thanks a million for the help and keep doing what you do best 😊

Thank you so much this helped me ! I drop all the pieces everywhere!

Ahhh!!! I just fixed my Kiara Sky handpiece. The little ball fell off and I was able to put it back. Thank you!!! Still gotta buy another drill but for now this will do. You're a life saver!!!

I took mine off to clean it. Everything went everywhere. Thank you for this video. I couldn’t figure out how to put it back together 💖

Did all of this and it still not working. Thanks for the info though.

You literally just saved my life right now

You’ve just saved my life! I took it apart and then those little tiny weight things fell out and I didn’t know where they came from 🤣 thank you!!

You are honestly a lifesaver. My drill wasn’t vibrating or spinning at all. But the power light was still coming on. Did everything u said … my drill is now good as new! Thank you so much.

Thank you, this was very helpful. I thought my drill was broke. The probes were definitely bent. I straightened them up and now it’s working.

- Dec 26, 2022 - Thank you. This video was the determining factor if I would keep or toss my device. I’m keeping my perfect working device. Thank you. 👍🏼❤️

No freaking way. It works! Thanks so much!!!!!

this video helped me so much! i have the kiara sky drill and thought it was gonna break soon but i just had to clean it now shes back in the best condition 🥰🥰

Thank you soooo much!!!! I was about to cry cus my one year old e-file stopped working! This got it back up and running!

Wow was now about to order a new drill.. came upon your video and wahlaa my efile is working.. thks so much 🥰

This was incredibly helpful! Also my first time seeing ALL the pieces broken down! Unfortunatley, my drill is not STAYING powered. I think the motor has gone out. It will spin, but the power is LOW and as soon as I apply pressure to my nail it stops!

Such a great video-thank u so much! Now I know what I can do to fix mine if need be LOL😘

I love how you have a girly side and a tough side lol I love it so much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. you don't realize it but you helped me fix my locking mechanism. Somehow mine was put together wrong lol. thanks so much!

This was sooooo informative and interesting! So many ppl will appreciate this! 💯

THANK YOU!! Watching this video helped me fix my drill!

Thank you so much for this video, I decided to take apart my drill and I don’t know why and I was trying to figure out how to put it back together 💕

OH MY GOD YOURE A LIFE SAVER I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A NEW DRILL!!

ok so my motor keeps getting stuck. like the little white star looking things doesnt spin unless i start to turn it . do you know why its doing that?

for some reason, i can’t unscrew mine. only getting scratch marks

My daughter bought me a drill for Christmas and the bottom of the hand piece came undone. When I put it back together it didn't work. Thanks to your video I was able to get it working again! Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH! I was heartbroken when it happened. Now it like new again!

My bite could not remove when I pulled it down the 2 bearing is missing .is there a way to remove it and replace it

hello kristi mayes I did everything that you did, and it helped me clean everything well but my drill still does not want to spin the power still comes on and everything but the drill does not want to spin, what can I do if I do all this and put it back together exactly how you did it and it still does not want to spin what can I do?

Thank you so much for the video! You saved my night 💙

I can't love this video enough ❤️

Yes so it was the motor omg I am so happy I don’t have to buy another drill I just got my new motor in today and it works better than before this video was very helpful

Thank you!!!!! I unscrewed the machibe apart and couldn't understand why those metal things were flat. I took my finger nail and push them back up and lined them into the slots. I was about to throw the machine away and buy another one then decided to log onto youtube university and there you were. ❤

please. help. my nail bit broke while in the drill and half of it is stuck in there and i can’t get it out! i’ve took it apart but it’s not helping. please help

This video literally saved me $100 😭 I thought my drill was done for good!!

You saved my life, thank you 😭🫶🏻🫶🏻

I followed this... the motor on the drill works... But when I reattach everything, it won't turn the part that you insert the bits into. I've cleaned all the parts out, attached them correctly and it's still not turning the bit barrel. Any reason why or do I just need to get a completely new one?

What if the parts inside the drill appear rusted after some months of using it every now and then? Is it normal? My drill stopped working too

I JUST GOT MINE AND I THOUGHT I BROKE IT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this video I was stressed about to buy a new one

You help me fix my wife drill bit thank you soo much

Thanks so much ❤ I was able to resemble my drill back 😮😢

U saved my life lol😅thank you so much for this tutorial ❤🎉 god bless you🎉 ma’am

Wow ,thank you so much for this❤

My machine motor still turns on, but the part where we have to twist to change the bits that part is not opening at all for me, this is the second machine that’s done this to me. Literally, I cannot twist it to open it with the bits What do I do about that?😢

Thanks for the video, i was able to get apart my gf drill. The motor was shot through

You saved my equipment!!! Thank you 😭 😭 😭

Please help , i can t insert the bit, i don t understand Why the head does not fit anymore , i haven t used it a month and now not one piece goes in

I hope you still respond to questions. Your video is pretty old, but has a wealth of valuable information so thank you so much! But I just got the Melody Sue Jade SR3 drill. Like I bought it less than a week ago. It worked fine for my first manicure. I loved it. I really only used it for 15 minutes. But I went to do a pedicure a few days later and the hand peice stopped rotating. I can even hear the motor in the hand peice going. It clicks on, then sounds like it's rotating but it's not. Unfortunately I have tried every way you have suggested to taking off the first peice on the bottom of the hand peice(WD-40, hair dryer), I even used channel locks. It's not coming apart. I already scratched it now so if I return it it's going to be obvious I messed with it. I tried their customer support. That's a joke. I'm hoping there is another way of getting inside the hand peice. I really think that we might not be able to access it from that bottom peice on some models.

I have a similar drill and it accidentally fell apart bc i was trying to figure out how to change the bit . I can’t get it to screw back together and it seems i have everything in correctly. Any suggestions???

Neither me nor my husband can unscrew it even with the pliers. Any ideas?

Thank you so much❤ this truly saved my nail drill!!!!

LIFESAVER!!!

I lost one of the small round donut discs. What are they called and where can i get a replacement?

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER, Almost cancelled on my client

I’ve the melodysusie scamander, it’s started making a funny noise. I’ve managed to take apart the bottom part and lots of dust, can’t see where I can unscrew the top part. Any ideas?

ur a lifesaver!

Hey I have the scamander drill and it stopped working so I opened it up and fixed it somehow.. but now when I twist it it won't unlock for me to put a drill bit in do you have any idea what I could do please

This most definitely help thank you!!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽

Kristi, how did you disassemble it? I have one that is really tight and I don't want to use any steel tools because I will scratch it. Do you have any suggestions?

Not all heroes wear capes... 😱❤️👍

Does this work for the S series (scamander) drill as well? I have lots of appointments and I’m scared to break it 😣

i can’t get the first piece open (the very first step you show to taking the drill apart) i’ve used several different pliers to try to pry

Love this video thank you so much

Thank you so much this helped me a lot 😊💯👏

You saved my life THANK U❤

My bit lock goes up and down but when I screw everything back together it doesn’t lock

They are an impressive set of talons you have !

My melody Susie drill is only on one speed , it doesnt change to a lower speed no matter how hard I try to bring it down I don't think it's my drill I think it's the actual motor box that's messed up, I can't use it on client because the speed is so high it'll burn there nails if I do can someone help me please ! Thank you

Thank you thank you thank you. I love you. My prongs were bent!!! ❤😂🎉

It seems you must work for nasa . Very smart lady! Thanks!

i followed this tutorial and after resembling my drill the motor started heating up a lot and vibrating loudly, any suggestions? i’ve already checked my bearings

thank you sooo much you helped me solve my locking problem

My bit lock isn't working what should I do? I never undid my drill I'm not sure why it's not working

Thank you save my drill❤

Thanks I’m sure this will be very handy one day 👍🙂

Thank you sooo much for helping me put my nail drill back together, however I lost one of the donut shaped bearings that go on the side of the spring. Any idea where I can buy a new one? 😢
