Dyson here just stopped working, as in nothing at all when you
press the 'on' switch.

Is there a fuse inside the bugger? If so where and how do I get
to it?

I had this happen - thought I'd need a new motor, but google groups
reveals that there is a thermal cutout which disables the unit for ~60
minutes. Try turning the little bugger on again today and see if it
works now !

Our Dyson DC 04 has a regular fault (annual) where the supply cable
flexes close to the machine. Initially intermittent operation followed
by the conductor arcing clear.

Access to shorten back the cable is via the start/stop button. A thin
blade inserted down the flat side of the button can be used to release
the retaining tang (not easy!) With the button removed, repairs are
straightforward.
