Thank you for your video. A few days ago my mate gave me his broken Makita 18v charger to have a look at. I’d already pulled the big input filter cap and found it to be in tolerance. I’d checked all the fuses diodes fets and caps for shorts and was scratching my head having found no faults. I saw your video, pulled his board out of the cupboard thinking I don’t remember seeing one of those resistors. I thought I’d checked the likely suspects (big components not secured well) but nooo. There it was, loose just like you showed 🤦♂️ I’ll solder it up in the morning and hopefully it’ll be sorted. I gave him my Makita 18v charger and my drills just gone flat so I kinda need it now 😂 LEGEND, thank you again !!
Title says DC18RD, but the video clearly shows that it is a DC18RC at 0:23 and 3:57. The DC18RD is a dual-battery charger, while the DC18RC is a single battery model.
