I've had it for about 10 years and it's always worked fine. All of a sudden, it won't stay turned on, unless I hold the button down with one finger or thumb. How do I fix this?
DysonFan had it right. I read this article and fixed it successfully:

You can't fix this problem yourself - a repair dealer needs to open up the button and inspect the power switch - call the Dyson helpline, they will find the closest authorized dealer in your area and if your machine is still under warranty it'll probably fixed under warranty for you.

I just had this same problem tonight. As I was looking on this sight to find a solution, my husband fixed it. First he removed the extended handle part, then he took the 2 screws out behind the power switch and removed the front cover (directly underneath the power button). He then removed the plastic power switch cover and took the power leads off the switch and removed the switch and tapped on it, then the little button stuck in place:) Sounds silly but it worked! Good luck!

Three options here,one,take it to a shop and have the switch replaced,two,tape it in the on position,or take the switch out and bring it to Radio Shack,they will have a switch that can be used as a replacement.

The switch is broken. If you are handy, remove the old switch and match it up at a hardware store or a Vacuum repair shop. It shouldn't cost much to have it replaced by a proffessional either.
