Why did you skip the disassembly? I have Model 9876L which has no screws showing, so I'm assuming that I have to open the casing with a knife edge, which often destroys it when you don't know exactly how it is held together.
See 14:00 onwards for re-assembly, might help you understand how it went together. So I got out of bed just to look this up, I never recorded the disassembly, there are 5 very obvious phillips screws under the lower cover. separate the silver bit from the black bit and they will be very obvious, DO NOT try to pry the whole unit apart.
@@TheAussieRepairGuy thank you for this video! I didn't think the black part was under the silver, I thought it can off to expose screws. I have the same issue, where to insert a pry tool without wrecking the clipper, while examining frame 12:52 I saw the black plastic fingers in the cutter end that cold be pried out to start the cover reveal, a pry in the lower part of the switch hole and prying out on the silver cover at the charger end got it off.
@@GmanInd Yes this video was done a few years ago and I was in a bit of a rush, and the owner was observing as I did it, consequently I missed filming a few steps.
just replaced the battery on mine and something interesting happens. After 15 minutes of charging the blue LEd switches off. How come is this happening? I''m sure it would take longer than 15 minutes to recharge a battery. Any ideas? Cool video by the way, it is very helpful.
@@TheAussieRepairGuy you could be right, it was partially charged I fully discharged it. Still, something is off. The motor might not be working that well as the change of battery didn't seem to help that much, it feels slower and rotating at a lower frequency than my new Wahl Beret.
Sounds like retaining clip. I don't have these in my posession anymore, and I'm not an expert on them. My suggestion would be to assemble the unit until it becomes obvious where that part belongs.
Probably because these had been in my hands for a total of 5 minutes at the time. Why don't you make your own video where you cover these points yourself?
