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 sunshine. It makes me so proud you want to attempt to fix something rather than throw it out.
When my computerybox did a whoopsie (which had nothing to do with me spilling coffee over it), I used this great website to find out how to take it apart. Might not be helpful this time but perhaps for the next thing that does or does not get offered an unexpected and undesired cup of Joe.
Those little screws might be a pain with your dyspraxia so maybe take it apart on a tray or something so nothing rolls under the couch.
And if you can’t fix it, that’s okay! You tried, that’s all that matters. I’m sure there’s a local repair person out in your neck of the woods. Failing that, I’m sure there’s a witch in those woods with a broom you can borrow hurhurhur.
Keep being you, sunshine.
Thanks dad that's helpful in multiple different ways ❤️
