Dyson DC08 vacuum cleaner

[ericoppel1]

I have one of these which stopped suddenly while being used. No odd smells or anything to indicate a motor burn out etc.

Anyone have any suggestions on what the fault might be and how to fix it?

Also there seems to be only one visible screw anywhere on the case.

Any clues as to how to open this thing up without breaking it?

Also does the motor have replaceable brushes?

Dyson tell me I have to buy a complete motor for $80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
