thanks! I suggest prying the power slider from the other side and using plastic trim removal tools. You will damage the plastics otherwise. I also did not manage to unclip the buttons like you did. But one the white plastic stick is removed, by carefully sticking a slim screwdriver in between them, they can be tuck to the sides a bit and you can access the two screws. Oh and there is a small connector that will unplug when you remove the top cover. You have to carefully plug that in when reassembling. I was trying to remove the wheels as they are constantly rubbing and make the device relative hard to move. But I did not succeed, the clips are there good and tight. Good luck!
The power button and slider were not working anymore. The reason was the 330 uF X2 capacitor (the yellow capacitor on the left side of the PCB at 1:52). It had diminished to 180 uF. Replacing it with a new one did the trick.
Hello there! Thanks for the video! I recently found one of these in the garbage. Buttons don't work. Would be okay to connect the motor directly to the power cord to test?
I my case the motor was not on at all. But you should check the the 330 uF X2 capacitor (the yellow capacitor on the left side of the PCB at 1:52), which caused my problem.

Agree, that is the better way. So first remove the power slider, and after that the two ' buttons' .

Wo bekommt man den Kondensator?

I put a bridge over the transistor (thyristor?) so the capacitor for the motor was still there.
Hi! My AEG VX8 turns on but always at maximum suction power, no matter where I put the slider. Which component should I change in this case? Thanks!

@@elbosinterests2130 Thanks! Changing capacitors and resoldering variable resistor connector did the trick 😎
Thanks
The power adjuster(whote one in the top) looks like it doesnt wnat to come off in my unit🫤
Where do you live? In Germany there is a LICENSE workshop that specializes in AEG vacuum cleaners
@BushcraftPrepperSurvival Lets say how bout IRAN ?
