Steps:

1. Philips - Norelco RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D

2. With no visible screws or clips, the only other method is to pry away at the seam.
3. The drain hole provided the necessary gap to insert the pick and begin prying.

4. Once the pick is worked around the seam, the frame unclips.
5. There are 4 clips holding the frame to the shaver body.
6. The plastic clips are extremely fragile, due to them clipping onto metal tabs.

7. With the frame removed, the top case and button easily lift off.

8. The rear case is removed by gently squeezing the metal tabs away from the case.
9. The metal tabs act like compression springs to hold against the rear case.
10. The metal tabs mentioned in Step 3 are better visualised here.

11. The small magnet on the rear serves to hold the shaver in place on both the charging dock and cleaning station.
12. The South pole of the magnet should face outwards.

13. The main electronics are housed within a waterproof enclosure.
14. A series of 6 clips hold the enclosure together.

15. The motor is easily disconnected with a single plug.
16. The board powers to life after holding the battery at 3.7V.

17. Follow the steps in reverse to assemble the shaver.
