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!

Hey kiddo, there's a ton of good advice here that can bring you ahead.

If you decide to try it on your own remember: practice makes perfect and there's no guarantee your fix will work. Don't be disappointed if it does, but think about what you learned and how to do it better next time.

Also if you're feeling in over your head remember you're not alone. Check where the next repair café is near you. This def. sounds like a problem with a good chance of being fixed and the people there are nice and helpful.

Best of luck, I believe in you!
