My Ryobi 14.4 volt drill is not working. The battery is fully charged
at 14.5 volts and the flashlight that comes with it is bright but the drill doesn't do a damn thing regardless of what position any of the switches on it are set at. I assume the trigger switch is bad. Any suggestions? |

Clean the contacts on the drill, a solvent like alcohol a small brush or rag then use an eraser on the contacts, an ink pen is best as its more course. if it doesnt help try brake or electric component cleaner in a spray can in the switch=- Let it Dry first a long time, if you dont have any you could pour in alcohol or something like a bit of laquer thinner, let it dry for about 6 hours or you might have the real meaning of Fire It Up. Or open the handle see if wires are loose and trace it with a meter to see where power fails. If its had tons of use check motor brushes. |

If it's under warranty bring it back (before) you take it apart. Did you try all settings, reverse, low, high etc.? |

On my Makita, there is a center position on the FORWARD/REVERSE switch.
Well, maybe it is not a position, but if you get there, the drill is D-E-A-D. Took me a while to figger that out, but I finally did. You might check that and any other obvious stuff. After that, you're on your own. |

In warranty, let them deal with it. Otherwise, turn the
chuck by hand, and try it again (check for intermittent brushes). You can take the battery out, open it up, and use a VOM to test the switches. -- Christopher A.

If you are like me and love to check out pawn shops,flea markets and
yard sales, keep an eye out for another 14v Ryobi drill. Yours is the exception to the rule on cordless --about 99% of the time the trouble is batteries. The tools themselves usually don't break or wear out. If you should happen to see one, you could probably buy it for a couple of dollars and assume the batteries are shot. If you have a spare drill, your original will never break again (Murphy's Law). I bought a 9.6 Makita wth two batteries and charger for $2.00 at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago-- the guy said the batteries were bad, but they seem to work fair, and I already had a couple of extra batteries I got for a dime each from a pawn shop that was moving, and didn't want to move all the loose crap they had laying around.

If there are places where smokers congregate, fine, I don't have to go there but there are places I have to go, like government offices and other public venues. I don't drink alcohol and don't go to smoke filled bars, if I do, because of my severe allergic reaction to tobacco smoke, I'll be sick for several days. I think every adult has a right to do whatever drug, drink or poison they want. Darn it, I've lost a lot of people I cared about to heart attacks, lung cancer and liver disease. I'm not in perfect health but I'm outlasting a lot of friends and it really hurts to lose them. The younger they are, the more tragic it is. I had a customer who was a nice kid in his early thirties, a very aggressive lung cancer took him too soon. He was a heavy smoker who left behind a wife and children. When I talk to my friends about what they're doing to themselves, they answer, "I know." I don't try to lecture them or pester them about it because it will just make them hate the messenger but I will tell them I care about them from time to time. I'm getting to point where I don't want to like anyone who has self destructive habits anymore. TDD |

My roommate smokes but goes outside to inhale the toxic byproducts of combustion because he's considerate. We had a psychotic visitor for a while who decided to light up in the house after he consumed a little ethanol/apple juice mix (MD20/20). It's called wine for some strange reason. I was ill for several days because of that psychotic asshole. We tried to help him but it didn't last very long, I loaded him up and gave him a ride to another friend of his across town who was also a smoker so that at least worked out for him. TDD |

It's no secret, people know better now and there's no excuse. I have a friend who lost a lung due to lung cancer because of his smoking and refusal to wear a dust and chemical filtering respirator when necessary. He stopped smoking for a while then started sneaking them again. I've told him he's a grown man and I can't tell him to quit but I tell him that the people who care about him are very upset with him. I'm sure there are people who care about you too, perhaps you should consider what your drug habit does to them. TDD There's many points above I fully agree with. Who could not get angry with a "mother is wiping his nose while a cigarette dangles out of her mouth". Hey, I know it stinks. Once I put the new carpet in this place I rebuilt, I don't smoke in the house at all since it was planned for sale. OK, in the crapper that has the fan once in a while. Just me and the cats here. They never complain. It's the whiners that get me. Such insecurity. Can't get themself higher on the pedistal so try and make others appear lower to increase the gap. Walk 20 ft from someone smoking and they do the retarded fake "cough cough". So frikkin childish. But they don't hesitate to hop in the car and suck up all the crap from other cars, busses and trucks around. I wonder what they would do if all smoking stopped and smokers dropped dead. Probably push for a caste system based on sins of the fathers. It's just as retarded a concept as some of the **** they do now. People can't believe how sensitive I am to the stuff. I can be driving down the freeway at 70+ and know if the car in front of me contains a smoker. Hmmm. Interesting since half the crap contained in cigarettes is also present in automobile exhaust. I surly hope you're not serious about that statement. If not, that is the dumbest thing I've heard from the anti- smoking camp. What tops that? On a motorcycle at 70+ maybe? Blindfolded too? My roommate smokes but goes outside to inhale the toxic byproducts of combustion because he's considerate. We had a psychotic visitor for a while who decided to light up in the house after he consumed a little ethanol/apple juice mix (MD20/20). It's called wine for some strange reason. I was ill for several days because of that psychotic asshole. We tried to help him but it didn't last very long, I loaded him up and gave him a ride to another friend of his across town who was also a smoker so that at least worked out for him. TDD |

what are you supposed to do with the left over parts?
Put them in the box where you put left-over parts. Be patient. Eventually you'll have enough left-over parts to build a new one. -- Due to Usenet spam, emailed replies must pass an intelligence test: if you want me to read your reply, be sure to include this line of text in your email, but remove this line before sending, otherwise my filters will delete your email with all due prejudice.

I've been around car and diesel exhaust all my life, yet there is *something* about tobacco smoke that is distintive and completely different. Bring me someone who was around a smoker a week ago, and I can point him out. Show me someone who thinks he can hide his smoking from his spouse, I'll show you someone who was busted from the first minute. When you're in it, you can't notice it...when you're out of it, you can't help but notice it. It's more pervasive than anything I've ever known. -- Due to Usenet spam, emailed replies must pass an intelligence test: if you want me to read your reply, be sure to include this line of text in your email, but remove this line before sending, otherwise my filters will delete your email with all due prejudice.

GAAAK! COUGH! HUFF! WHEEZE! You may have heard of a snot nosed kid, I was a green slime kid. One of my generation who is allergic to the smoke from idiots. They didn't know any better back then but people do now so there's no excuse. TDD Non smokers I will go out of my way not to infringe on. Anti-smokers are just idiots who just like to whine to make themself feel better and think they are better. Half the time they are just fat-****s who get loaded on booze...but that's OK in their eyes. But they never make a stink about the $ collected from the tax revenue it raises and is used for totally unrelated issues. All I did was ask if his handle was related to the acronym. You go off on some political/social issue. Typical anti-smoker. Oh well, in a few weeks I'll probably have to bail on newsgroups due to a relocation where the ISP doesn't carry NG's. You should feel better there's one less heathen smoker posting. Believe it or not I take Libertarian view of the subject. Adults should be able to do whatever they want to "themselves". That includes drugs, alcohol and the intentional inhalation of toxic fumes. I am very, very allergic to tobacco smoke, it has the effect of pepper spray on me and my friends who are smokers know this and are careful not to harm me. Those who refuse to are not my friends. I was a nicotine baby, I went cold turkey at the age of one day. My exposure has caused terrible health problems for me from the time I was a child and I've seen the same health and behavior problems in the children of smokers that I went through. So please forgive me for being concerned and somewhat outspoken.

TDD You "surly" hope. Nice play on words. Like I said people can't believe it. I can tell when my friend with one lung has been smoking and I don't have to say anything. He can see the disappointment on my face and he knows he's busted. TDD |

For whatever reason, they don't want to standardize the
batteries. Even within the HF brand, there can be two or three different style batteries of the same voltage. So, when the battery eventually goes weak, you end up buying a whole brand new whatever the device is. I suspect they like selling "whole new". -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Lp1331 1p1331" wrote in message ... If you are like me and love to check out pawn shops,flea markets and yard sales, keep an eye out for another 14v Ryobi drill. Yours is the exception to the rule on cordless --about 99% of the time the trouble is batteries. The tools themselves usually don't break or wear out. If you should happen to see one, you could probably buy it for a couple of dollars and assume the batteries are shot. If you have a spare drill, your original will never break again (Murphy's Law). I bought a 9.6 Makita wth two batteries and charger for $2.00 at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago-- the guy said the batteries were bad, but they seem to work fair, and I already had a couple of extra batteries I got for a dime each from a pawn shop that was moving, and didn't want to move all the loose crap they had laying around.

smoke. I went to chat with him, and he opened the door of his truck. Well, the tobacco auora was really obvious to me. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Carefull, there. I can often tell, sitting at a traffic
light, if the car next to me contains smokers. When both our vehicles have the windows closed. On the highway? It's very possible. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..
