After looking on a few sites, I have found that dry joints hidden under heat shrink sleeving and DeWalt intelligent battery's are the reason for the tools not working.
Where to look. (on the tool),
at the battery connection area the two big spade connectors at either end are the positive and negative connection to the battery.(these will normally never give any problems)
the other two or more smaller spade connectors are the Usual Suspects. Due to the way the DeWalt intelligent battery works, there is a connection from the (TH) thyristor (heat sensor) and the (C3) third cell group connection.
The (TH)-(C3) connections are required to be connected fully or the working LED light will just flash once, but the tool wont do a thing.
how to fix;
check the connections under the heat shrink sleeving.
check the connections going in to the trigger controller, remove the silicon squirted over the connections.
then just repair (Normally with solder, burning your fingers and a reasonable amount of swearing)
if this does not fix the broken DeWalt drill, impact gun, jigsaw, LED light, multi tool or other DeWalt thingy then you need a better man than me.
