My Dyson DC04 is stuck so that it wont stand up . The flexible bit at the end refuses to go to 90 degrees to the main body.
If I force it I think it will break

Thank you for this very handy tip! The Dyson now working perfectly and standing properly!

Used the answer on how to get the machine to stand upright and it worked. Many thanks. I only need to know now how to remove the on/off switch!!

Stand behind the vacuum and remove the part on the bottom right of the vacuum that has two different colored pushable parts. Then push the black part that is revealed. Pull the gray portion that is getting in the way when you are trying to stand the handle upright toward the front of the vacuum while pushing the black part at the same time. The gray part should snap forward into position and now allow the handle to stand fully upright. Voila!
