I have this Ryobi cordless charger and it's just gone dead.
No lights show up on the charger (neither the green power light or red charging light).
I've took the cover off and traced the board for any signs of power. Although I did this with just an electrical screwdriver as i don't have a multimeter.
I have power virtually all over the circuit board, (so i don't know why the green power light isn't coming on).
anyway, I noticed that i have power going into what looks like a surface mount resister, but no power at the other end.
- is it safe to assume that this is where the problem is? - dry joint or a blown resister?
Should i have power coming out of this component if power is going in?
I don't know the value of the resister - it just says RX2. I also tried contacting Ryobi for a copy of the component list, but they don't respond.
