Hi there....This might be a silly question, but do I remove the plastic from the base where the battery is?

It's okay. Yes you do. By the way... Did you get the recital sized... I got the mini...and I did return mine.... Too small to show

Not sure. I did replace the battery but I was so discouraged that it did not work that I threw it in the trash.

You could unscrew the bottom and disconnect the battery for a minute. I haven't done that with this product, but if you are handy, you should be fine unless the stupid battery is soldered directly to something. It should have a plug but I wouldn't know.

You cannot remove or change the battery - it's build in and sealed within the unit. There is a charging port at the bottom of the base.I searched online for you and on the Walmart website it says the internal battery is Ni-Mh. ;)

It should be fairly easy to pry the cover off. You can use a small screwdriver or a fingernail to pop the cover in the direction that is indicated by the little arrow 90 degrees from the pocket clip. Mine pops right off and the battery will slide out.

I was just about to suggest (and feeling a bit smug about it, I'll admit) that you simply re-boot. I had forgotten about the non-removable battery. Oops. Who feels foolish now? This is a great post. I hope somebody comes up with a useful suggestion.

The battery is internal. The only way to remove it is to remove the screws in the bottom of the computer. Removing the screws may void your warranty.

There is a small piece of plastic across the power input terminals under the battery. This must be removed for operation.

Yes , unfortunately you have to unscrew the whole bottom to take out the battery. Their is no other option .

We can get the battery snapped in but there is a white plastic piece on the lid that won't allow it to close. Are we supposed to break it off?

There are little screws on the bottom. One is for the battery compartment, one is not. You can tell by looking at them which you need. :)

There is a tiny tab that you have to push down when removing the wire from the battery. try using a pen to do so. It is located between the wire and where the metal clip connects.

Rip the box apart. The only other place maybe in the hood where the battery goes. Sorry it's been over a year since I built ours

Instead of removing the battery, place a small piece of insulator (paper, thin carton, plastic, etc.) between any one of the battery poles and its contact point. Thereby, there is no/little risk of losing/misplacing any of the batteries during non-use; and while it is in-use, place the insulator beside the battery for safe keeping inside the battery compartment.

what i did was just take the spare key and battery out. my old shell was just bad and torn, so I just grabbed a pair of plyers and ripped the old plastic off until the circuit board was exposed.

Hello, according to the manual "Battery should only be removed when trimmer is to be discarded. Do not attempt to replace battery. Insulate battery ends by covering with tape and/or place battery in a small plastic bag." You can see the documentation on this unit at: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&ctn=XA4003/42

I don't have that problem, but I would make sure I have the right size battery and that nothing is underneath the battery that should be removed.

it has tiny screws on the corners, so I am sure if you unscrew them, there should be a place for the battery.
