Possible Causes

Completely discharged or failed battery pack, Faulty power button or trigger switch, Open circuit in main PCB, Broken battery connector in handle

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Remove the battery pack and ensure the charger is unplugged before inspection.

Basic checks:

  • Charge the battery: Place the battery on the charger until fully charged, then refit and test.
  • Test with another battery: If available, try a second compatible Salter battery to rule out a dead pack.
  • Check battery seating: Ensure the battery clicks firmly into place and does not wobble.

Inspect the power switch:

  • Press the power button or trigger repeatedly to feel for a positive click. A loose or mushy feel may indicate a broken switch.

If the vacuum remains completely dead with a known-good battery, the power switch or main PCB is likely faulty. Replacement of the handle/switch assembly or main control PCB is required and is best done by a technician.
