Here is an exploded diagram which seems to show that the whole nozzle assembly is removed as one piece.

See if it helps:

I have read other posts which note that while one can take all of the screws out of the nozzle assembly, it seems impossible to separate the blue portion from the white portion so that one can get at the flapper location. It is almost impossible. But not impossible. One can remove the blue portion of the nozzle. After removing all of the screws, gentle pry the blue portion from the white. While doing that, pull and wiggle the blue portion. Some gentle assists from a standard screwdriver proved helpful. With quite a bit of difficulty, and with some fear that something would break (but it didn't), it eventually came off. (There was no glue attaching it.). HOWEVER, to get the blue section back on, it proved necessary to cut off some of the blue plastic in strategic spots so that it could be returned to its original location. A Dremel tool did the job.

If you are handy with a soldering iron, and don't mind spending a few hours building a new battery pack using 1.2 volt "sub c" cells, you can disassemble the PHV1800, and rebuild the pack yourself. I just did it tonight, and the vacuum works like new.However, I'm not going to do this again. The PHV1800 doesn't use a single battery pack, but 2 packs that have to be assembled with very little room for error. You can purchase a combination battery pack/motor assembly for $75 (US currency, price currect as of 10/2011), unscrew the screws that hold the vacuum together, and replace the battery/motor unit as one.

Good afternoon,

There could be a few different problems with the vacuum, some more serious than others. The great thing is that the unit is still under warranty. My advice would be to contact your local B & D Service Center:
"All Black & Decker Service Centers are staffed with trained personnel to provide customers
with efficient and reliable power tool service. Whether you need technical advice, repair, or
genuine factory replacement parts, contact the Black & Decker location nearest you. To find
your local service location, refer to the yellow page directory under "Tools-Electric" or call:
1-800-544-6986 or visit http://www.blackanddecker.com/."

Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
This can be caused due to one of the following reasons.

Bad Charger or the Charging IC!
Dead or Weak battery.
Loose contact of charger pin with the socket.

If you have purchased a new unit, then you can go for a warranty claim in case the problem in not solved at user end.

Best of Luck,
Concerned,

yes i can see it, and according to that, heres my answer
you can try pulling harder.. or use the screwdriver as a lever... it doesn't make sense that if you unscrew everything, you cant pull it out, so maybe its something tats a bit stucked
