Two days ago, the power on our Dyson DC04 Absolute+ kept cutting out, and then this morning when I switched it on, there was a single soft 'click' noise and then it died completely - the on/off button has no function now whatsoever. I have absolutely no technical/DIY/repair skills. Can it be fixed or should I just dump it?

It probably can be fixed but by a person with some confidence and a few hand tools - not by you according to what you say.

Find an old codger who may look at it for you for the price of a pint or two - tell him to look at dysonmedic.com.

Good luck...
