Thanks for your sharing. I fixed my DC31 with the exact problem. I called Dyson support but I was told it has been EOL since 2017, so no advice can be provided. I checked the PCB, and it seemed everything was normal. Just before I threw it into the bin, I watched your video and gave it a try. It worked. From my DC31, I wasn't able to see whether the rubber caught, but I pulled out the hole unit slightly and pushed it back in. It just worked. Great stuff. Thank you.
Hey buddy i just fixed my dyson dc45 thanks to your video, i can confirm the same problem: the rubber was touching the metal plate behind the coils, once i separated them the dyson returned to work! Even when i remounted it and the rubber was still touching it, the machine started anyway, so it was probably some sort of "block". Big hug to you! A note for other people, the lights were flashing green when pressing the button, but the machine wasn't starting!
How did you get the back of that thing. I have done nothing but damage the plastic trying to open it. tried everything even a small shim tool (iseasmo) and I am breaking that with the force I am applying? No one else online has ever opened a DC34 so am intrigued to see how you opened yours
I was able to remove it by using multiple screwdrivers that have narrow stems and thin tips. I forced one in the seam on both sides of the circular portion low just above where it t's for the handle portion. I applied pressure just enough to cause a little flex in the plastic. With a third screwdriver I was able to pop out the bottom of the T. You then use the other two screwdrivers to separate the back from the unit. I squeezed the circular portion as I pried which made the tabs holding it on pop out easier.
You have to try it out meaning stick a pointy screwdriver and pry it out but be careful not to break the contacts this little clicks or clips by the edge

Hum. Mine has no lights on top at all. I bought a new battery and charger. Still nothing.
I'm asking the same question how did you get that back off?

TechBase lol. Good question but honestly I don’t remember it’s been awhile that I opened that’s. Sorry
Mr. Foshow, Hi, could you please tell me where to connect button - filter detector?
Mr. Foshow уважаемый можете посмотреть куда на плате подключается кнопка-детектор фильтра?
How did you take off the battery case to get access to the battery?
