But, if I pull on the trigger, that last mm or two of play stops it. I've gotten used to using the forward/neutral/reverse switch. In neutral, it draws zip.   Thanks for the tip. I tried pulling and putting it in neutral - no effect, but worth a try.   > Bored, I took it apart a couple of months ago and found a cracked post inside the switch/speed control assy.

But I'm not going to live with pulling the battery when not in use, so I'll probably get a new one. Which wouldn't be so bad, after all.

And as Ralph pointed out, you get a new battery as well. If it's the same exact tool, you'll also have some parts.

And as Ralph pointed out, you get a new battery as well. If it's the same exact tool, you'll also have some parts.   What about installing an on/off switch to isolate the battery from the pcb when not in use?

Wouldn't be the 1st time that I've done a bodge like that 8-) I'll look into it.

I added a 3/4" wide strip of aluminum cut from a rain gutter and screwed that into place around the joint for extra support, covered that with black tape, used the headphones several times, problem solved and it's not too noticeable. Thanks for your detailed reply.

Cheers.

I came across this chip in a teardown and wondered similarly what it's purpose was.
