A vacuum is just a motor on a stick, of course you could bypass the circuit board. However, solid state electronics don't generally stop working, with few exceptions. Physical damage, vibration damage, power surges, and then the worst one: design flaws. But still, as a general rule for troubleshooting, suspect the computer last. Modern day electronics are usually pretty robust.
Unless you're going with blue car theory. That is, if the computer on a particular model is a known troublemaker. | ||

Huskyvac
If you look in newspaper or local classifieds brand new in box $140.
If you want a great lightweight rsl20a or a riccar could be had 200-300. It has metal brush roll lifetime belt and the vacuum actually vacuums probably top lightweight. Orexks have been liquidating firesale everything. If you can get it for five bucks use it until it does. Trying to mess with computer you could and most definitely burn up motor or something rather quickly. If you know sone try soldering circuit board if something isn't working. Bypassing cpu is way too much work for a average $5 vacuum. Use it enjoy it. Les | ||

Eh?
Doug your post appears blank aside from the heading, did something fail to load?
Anyways congrats, on the find, and the bypassing. That's certainly a great price for it. They're interesting machines and very very light. A shame they didn't take better care of, but suppose if they had it probably wouldn't have made it's way to you. | ||

Actually, I never intended to bypass the circuit board on this one or any one. I just felt if it is ever possible, I would remove them from the vacuum, if it would work. | ||
