It's out of warranty. It works but only when I press and hold the button in, so I can't use it. I think it's something to do with the button mechanism.
Any ideas? It's not the robovac brand but obviously it wasn't cheap!

It may be crud preventing an internal switch reaching a detent, or it may be corrosion based upon the image. I do not know what that white stuff is near the switch, in the groove of the trim piece. That could be nothing, or it could be corrosion. There is no way for me to tell.
Everything was put together by someone. You are as smart or smarter than that someone. You can take the thing apart and put it back together if you try and want to bad enough sweetie. Most problems are obvious and minor. Most objects have resources on YT or the internet for how to take them apart. I expect little miss to have a working robot vacuum past the zombie apocalypse, so you best start learning how to repair one now while it is easy. -Love Dad.
