The power switch on the Black and Decker Pivot MAX turns the appliance on when connected to power. If your Black and Decker Pivot MAX will not turn on, is stuck on, or has a finicky power switch, replacing this component is something you should consider.
This guide will take you through the steps of removing and re-assembling key components of the Black and Decker Pivot MAX to allow you to replace the power switch. Tools you will need for this project will be a Phillips head screwdriver and a soldering iron.

Too just troubleshoot the motor, after removing this section you can go straight to step 11. The pivot linkage referenced in a previous step is spring loaded and can simply be pressed down to rotate the gray ring and expose the screw heads in step 11. Disassembling the handle to remove it is not necessary. With the motor cover removed, the electrical connections are exposed. This is as far as I needed to go as I discovered the positive connector had become detached and simply needed to squeeze the connector for a tighter fit and placed back on the spade…reassembled and back in business.
As far as the battery comment above…this is not the case either. I also accessed that to check it out. The battery pack’s cover comes right off and exposes the board and 5 standard cells. Didn’t disassemble further then that to see exactly what batteries they are as mine were in good health on the meter, but looked to be a fairly simple replacement if your comfortable soldering tabs on batteries.

Replacing batteries in this battery pack is impractical. Even if you're adept at repairing such assemblies, it takes 5, LGEAHB71865 cells, which can't be found, at all. There are cells that can replace those. But, as the cells go for around $40 to $50 for a four pack, by the time you acquire the 5th cell, you may as well just by a new vac for around $75.00 on Amazon! Plus, if you do replace them, count on an hour, or 2, of your time disassembling & reassembling them. While I find this to be a really powerful & serviceable vacuum in all other respects, the simple fact that you can't replace the battery pack for a reasonable price, makes it a rip off! Still, Black and Decker did make up for this oversight a couple of years ago, when I called them to ask about new batteries for my vac. The woman politely explained that they don't sell the batteries, but then sent me a free replacement vac for my trouble. So, they're a good company, but I wouldn't count on getting that same deal when your batteries fail!
