Fitted new battery (£1.60 delivered) to my Casio watch. Slight hitch in that after a while the analogue time stopped updating but after opening again, checking and closing the case now working fine. Maybe a bit of dust got in the mechanism.

Working on my Braun 1508 shaver at the moment. I thought the motor was failing, and have got a replacement, but the fault was a dry joint on the battery that has blown the built-in charger circuit. I've been able to find a schematic for it on the net and have replaced several faulty components but now have an order on Ebay for the main invertor transistor (BUD87) as that has gone too. Same device but in a slightly bigger package (BUX87) but will fit fine.

Got a pack of 5. If I'd only ordered one it will blow immediately*, 5 gives a sporting chance as I don't think I've tracked down all the faulty components yet.
