Sorry if that question sounds snarky. I'm just surprised so many think to replace rather than repair.

My SO was doing his hair the other day and the clippers died. He pulled them apart; cleaned them; cleaned the contacts; re-set the contacts; et voilà, working clippers. The problem was a bad contact and the cleaning was to avoid the issue in the future.
