Thank you!!! I have been watching all videos and reading lots of forums about it. I thought it was the trigger but everyone was saying that is the battery it is the power unit, programmed obsolescence…
It's an important point you note here and great that you uploaded this. I was about to dispose a V8 battery due to red flashing light however I tested it on another V8 and it was fine all blue lights. Out of pure interest, I stuck the other battery into the broken unit and sure enough, it also flashed red. Nice as now have a spare battery at least. Later Edit: I did a quick continuity test of the two battery prongs that are exposed within the handle of the Unit once battery was removed. Sure enough there was a beep thus a problem/short between both. Must be the same issue you have here. Thanks again for posting.
Your video gave me a good look at the red trigger. (Mine is broken inside and i need to disassemble). That V8 trigger is not sold online anywhere I can find. Guess I will need to a plastic repair as it doesn't look like the other trigger that is widely sold will be interchangeable.
@@techfixPOV En réalité, ça ne m'a pas été utile pour réparer, mais je trouve que ta vidéo est très bien expliqué! et ça peut servir pour plus tard! . aujourd'hui je viens d'équilibrer les cellules d'une batterie Dyson V8 je les ai toutes mise à 3,811V, maintenant je dois acheter un PICKIT3 pour flasher le BMS ! .. tu t'y connais là dessus? merci
Do you have any video which gives info about the thin red and white wires? What is the voltage of that and where is it connected? I have to test a dyson v6l motor without other parts just by itself and there is no info, I guess 3.3v or 5v but I want to be sure.
The white connector is from the hall sensor that will activate the boost function when you move the MAX button. It should work with this connector unpluged.

Glad I could help!

Hi mate, I’ve got 3 blue lights with no power. A you also confirm the screw size to release cables?
Brilliant. Absolutely outstanding fix.
Thank you!
Very well done video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!

@@techfixPOV Thank you !
Super Erklärung, ich musste den shit Schalter wechseln wegen der Sollbruchstelle.
Glad it helped!
Mine was flashing red too. Spent 25 bucks on a ryobi adapter, done. Runs perfect
I assume the problem was the battery. It's perfect if you found an alternative to the original Dyson battery.
Thanks! By the hal magnet test i was able to fix mine! It wasn’t touching anymore
Glad it helped
Super, merci pour cette vidéo.
Avec plaisir, je suis content que cela ait été utile.

And also about the blue wires, what do i need to make it run without reed sensor, a video about how to run dyson motor standalone would be nice
Those wires are connected to the accessory connector for powering the brushes. There should be battery voltage when a brush is connected.
@@techfixPOVthanks, How about the white connector?
The white connector is from the hall sensor that will activate the boost function when you move the MAX button. It should work with this connector unpluged.
My V8 just died and has 4 Flashing Red lights on the battery pack... I'm reading things that it might be a motor issue, can you confirm?
If the LEDs flash red even when you have the charger connected, the battery is most likely defective.
You’ve got to be kidding.
