Remington MB4040 won’t turn on
Drained/dead battery
Plug in the charger. An LED light below the power button on the Remington MB4040 will illuminate if it’s receiving a charge. Allow it to charge for a few minutes if it fails to receive any charge the battery is most likely dead. If the battery is completely dead it will need to be replaced.
Power supply button malfunction
Cycle power by turning the device on and off listening for audible signs of the motor attempting to start. If no audible signs are heard, disassemble and inspect the internal workings of the power supply.
Remington MB4040 won’t hold a charge
Broken charger
Unplug and clean the charger then plug it back in. If that does not fix the discrepancy the charger may be broke and needs to be replaced. Try using a similar charger with the same specs and see if you get a charge that way.
Do not exceed 5 volts if using another small electronics charger.
Broken outlet
Try using a different outlet. If you really want to tinker use a multimeter to check the outlet voltage.
Dead battery
If the battery is completely dead it will need to be replace. Remove and replace the battery. Step by step battery replacement is shown in this link.
Device spontaneously shuts off
Defective thermal switch
If the trimmer intermittently stops working with the power switch still in the 'on' position it is possible the device has overheated and the thermal switch has activated and shut off the device to protect it from any damage. If the trimmer feels very warm to the touch, give it 10 minutes or more to cool down before continuing use. If it does not feel warm and the problem persists the thermal switch may be defective. Replacement of this switch can be found using these steps.
Zoom wheel will not adjust
The zoom wheel is used to adjust the height of the blades.
Gear is disengaged
Make sure all the internal hardware is properly engaged and look for any signs of binding.
If binding is found, the device must be taken apart to remove binding from wheel. Use this guide to access and disassemble the zoom wheel.

Remington MB4040 binds or has a low motor RPM

I bought a brand new remington and it won't hold a charge for more than 3 seconds. I've tried every outlet in the house and none work. Waste of money, don't buy

I have the same experience, alas.
Henrik Dahl -
same experience. Two major problems with remington shavers. 1. The foils only last for about a month getting holes in it rendering the shaver useless because you can't buy parts. 2. The power recharge connection on the shaver ALWAYS becomes faulty at about the one month mark so you are unable to recharge. Have bought 5 of these and same issues every time. Get your $@$* together Remington!

DO NOT BUY. I bought the remington shaver and the battery died after about a month and now will not charge. Absolute waste of money.

Just bought my new shaved and it literally doesn't shave… tried it for 30 minutes the result was absolutely null. Good power, brand new blades and guards, but even with more than adequate pressure it doesn't pull a single hair. Literally a waste of money lol. What is this brand doing with themselves

Hi! My charged died and I replaced it with an adjustable charger that was set to 5V. After plugging it into the appliance the orange led turns on and doesnt turn off even after a 12h charge. Is this normal? In the manual it is noted that after a full charge the LED turns off. Any suggestions?

Like many complained about, mine was losing charge very quickly and now just blinks and won’t charge at all. Have had it for 60 days. Waste of money.

When I try to clear the hair from the trimmer, the hinged catches fall apart. The 'hinges' consist of two tiny plastic pieces that fit into corresponding holes, but I could not get them back. Bought and returned two, both had the same fault. I've owned one before without this problem. Could it be a faultybatch?

I spent $60 on a remington indestructible yellow shaver and I got one use out of it, now it won't turn on no matter how long I charge it for. It's complete trash and I wasted $60 entirely

Bought a remington hair clipper abort 2 months ago - used it once when I purchased it and left it in the small bag it comes with. Today I needed to use it again, so I preemptively charged it for maybe 2-3 hours, but the battery died after 5 minutes (while still plugged in as well). Thought it could be because it was plugged in, so I left it for another hour and came back to try again - not even 3 minutes went by before it died (this time I unplugged it before use) // Nothing but a waste of money, I cannot stress how much I would recommend every other product but Remington.
