I am now in Australia where I have a Hoover Conquest canister vacuum cleaner (probably sold in other markets under a different name) which had intermittent power problems (solved by yanking the power cable) but it has now stopped working completely.
The cleaner has been replaced and is out of warranty but I want to repair it to use it in the garage so I'm not too concerned about scratches or minor damage.
It's likely that the mains power cable has become detached internally but I can't see how to access the anchor point for the cable or spool. There are two screws recessed near the hinge of the dust bag lid which I have loosened but the cover over the power supply and fan is still firmly attached and I can't see any other screws - any suggestions?
There are pictures of a similar unit here here
