Trying to FIX 2x Faulty Cordless Vacuum Cleaners purchased from eBay

Hi, this ‘trying to fix’ video shows me attempting to repair 2 x faulty cordless handheld vacuum cleaners purchased from eBay for £15 each delivered (£30 UK for the pair so approx. $38.50 US).
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this ‘Trying to FIX’ series.
Many thanks, Vince.

For the switch, hot glue a shim in between the two rocker points. fun video. Thanks for sharing! The lack of suction is the real problem. You might want to see if its possible to change the internal prop to create more suction? I wouldn't spend more money, but it might be fun to see if you can make it better….

I saw these in ASDA recently for about £32 I think.

A W204 C-class with cloth seats and a stick shift? Lucky guy! Here in North America they were all automatic with leather.

Ice Spike says:

Oh you got the GPD Win 2. Nice 👍

Alex Barnes says:

I reckon what the seller did is accepted your offer of £22 for both but thought 'fuck him he can have just one charger, then I'll sell the other one to make more money' lol

poorly designed mass produced crap. You paid what they are really worth, next step, a nice dust pan and brush made from ali.

Don't buy another charger, just email the seller & get him to send you one especially as you bought 2 & 1 came with one!

Remove the original clip and rivet in a couple of these : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sourcingmap-a13031300ux0305-Spring-Loaded-Silver/dp/B00CJCQ1IM/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1536121709&sr=8-9&keywords=case+latch to both sides. Cheap and relatively easy fix.
