Just before you start modifying your Dyson, our unit was running intermittent when my wife brought it to me and fiddling with it I was almost convinced that the switch or these connections described here was our problem as our DC35 has the filter micro switch. Our unit was more than 5 years old and originally it worked great, my wife loved it for a small lightweight vacuum, but this intermittent issue was frustrating her. What I found was this: I put the unit on the charger and checked it until the green light went out on the adapter. I then held the unit with the switch on and let it run (which is not how my wife would show it to me; the battery was already drained when she would show it to me). Charged, the unit ran for 2.5 minutes and shut off. I released the trigger switch and pressed it again and the unit ran for 1 minute, repeated and ran for 15 seconds, repeated and ran for 4 seconds, 4 seconds, 4 seconds, etc. and then would not turn on. I repeated the whole venture, the results were the same but now I noticed that when it shut off or just before (hard to tell by eye), the green light on the back top of the unit also went out. This caused me to suspect the battery and before I ventured into many of these suggested modifications (some destructive) on UA-cam, we bought a replacement battery. We bought the Powerextra battery from Amazon (Powerextra 22.2V 3000mAh Replacement Battery for Dyson DC31 DC34 DC35 DC44) and it fixed the issue and made my wife even happier because the Dyson now runs for more than 30 minutes on one charge where even new it only ran for 10-15 minutes. This is probably due to the original battery only being 1300 mAh and the replacement unit is 3000 mAh! I apologize for the length explanation but I am a Millwright by trade and my instinct is not to modify something unless it is absolutely warranted and in our case the best fix was a battery replacement resulting in a better running unit!
Ha, funny that I looked at the same busbar solder on the motor wires on my unit, the solder itself seems high temp but the varnish wasn't fully scraped off the wires...added more solder & flux and scraped a little with the solder tip, working now ! Plastic cover is very hard to get off...and back on
Funny how people possibly with little or no skill complain Why not put up your own videos??? I am in the throes of dismantling one that has sat for a couple of years and started to dismantle and found your video very helpful thanks To the complainers Check for video’s on how follow electrical circuits and soldering off ya go I have now got mine apart and I don’t think they are designed to be repaired
My Dyson dc35 is working for about 8 seconds and cuts out. The noise it makes is unusual and think I've over charged it if that's even possible. It's out of warranty. What would you suggest I try to fix it?
I don't remember, there were few parts with cold soldering, you will be able to see them under magnifing glass, watch carefully - as they are not fully unsolder, you will notice just small cracks on the soldering, usually the parts that are more heavy do these cracks
Roee Bloch, cheers for getting back, this is the only video that shows the same symptoms as mine (trigger pressed, solid green lights, no motor). Dyson says it's my battery but its outputting 24v just fine. I can't see any solder defects, but I'll have another look. Thank you
This was very much NOT helpful since you explicitly did not show the actual repair! I opened the case but then was not able to do much since you neither showed how things can be taken apart inside (removing the motor controller was a bit of a hassle) nor did you show what you actually did to the motor controller :-( My motor controller PCB did not have any obvious defects so I had to throw the Dyson into the trash. What actually caused the "Blinks and clicks but does not start the motor" error is therefor still unclear to me.
IMPORTANT -> There is a small pressure switch on the motor unit so it knows if there is a filter pad fitted. Without this switch signal THE UNIT WILL NOT RUN. Sorry for SHOUTING but there are a lot of people having problems with their vacuums and this will be a common problem. THIS video - ua-cam.com/video/CyyW04DPT9A/v-deo.html details how to find and HOW TO FIX :)
Finalement moi qui ne parle pas anglais... Je dois comprendre quoi ??? Il n'y a pas de second filtre ???? Car vue la vidéo il à bataillé 10 minutes pour faire quoi ???
So you managed to show us nothing, great video
For some reason I thought you might show us how to fix it.
You're not wrong, getting that plastic off is *very* hard! Thanks for the video.
Did I miss the fix?
Should have showed how you actually fixed it instead of just talking about it.
Can you advise on how to fix handheld dysons stopping and starting?

How did the battery work out for you? I bought a replacement battery, but it died after only 2 years. Is yours still working well?
I have a an old DC30 thats 14.8V with 1300mah, do you recall if yours was a 14.8V? I tried an Amazon 22.2V but it didnt work

good work!
You didn’t show what you fixed. What kind demonstration what that.
I ended up using the screwdriver to slash my wrist instead after watching this video 🤕
😆
have to change the battery?
Funny how people possibly with little or no skill complain Why not put up your own videos???

I have now got mine apart and I don’t think they are designed to be repaired
Title should say “How to mangle your Dyson”
My Dyson dc35 is working for about 8 seconds and cuts out. The noise it makes is unusual and think I've over charged it if that's even possible. It's out of warranty. What would you suggest I try to fix it?
Ok i have the same problem what should i do
Famous last words gonna have to use more force and more momentum
Wow 4 minutes 42 seconds of my life slipped me by zzzzzzzrrrrrrr
Which parts did you resolder?
I don't remember, there were few parts with cold soldering, you will be able to see them under magnifing glass, watch carefully - as they are not fully unsolder, you will notice just small cracks on the soldering, usually the parts that are more heavy do these cracks

did anyone get this fixed. as mine has started to do the same thing now it use to run and stop after 10 seconds. and now it doesn't work at all
hello Roee
i have the same problem , but i don't saw what you do to repear
can you say me what you find
thank's
sorry for my english , i'am french
Why does Dyson even bother with that screw? So had to pull it apart.
So useless .... zero help, the video was stopped at the most crucial moment. Wish i could've actually seen where you fixed it ??.
So would it be too much to ask you exactly how did you fix the problem? I mean, that is why we came to your video.
This was very much NOT helpful since you explicitly did not show the actual repair! I opened the case but then was not able to do much since you neither showed how things can be taken apart inside (removing the motor controller was a bit of a hassle) nor did you show what you actually did to the motor controller :-(

Without this switch signal THE UNIT WILL NOT RUN.
Sorry for SHOUTING but there are a lot of people having problems with their vacuums and this will be a common problem.
THIS video - ua-cam.com/video/CyyW04DPT9A/v-deo.html
details how to find and HOW TO FIX :)
Yes but its not the only issue
Why to make a video to show nothing?
Yes He showed us Nothing age of stupidity haha haha lol
This looks like a DC30 with removable battery instead of a DC35 with fixed battery.
It says it on the side "DC35"
I guess they both use the same motor and circuit ..
Finalement moi qui ne parle pas anglais... Je dois comprendre quoi ??? Il n'y a pas de second filtre ???? Car vue la vidéo il à bataillé 10 minutes pour faire quoi ???
la construction n'est pas digne de la marque Dyson !
Didn't saw anything what you did... Bad video, sorry
