Buy a new chuck!

depending on the model of drill, the indicator (if not colour / state changing) only indicates that the drill is connected to power. hence with no indicator of a full charge, if you refer to the user manual for this drill it should tell you how long the drill should be charged for.

does it have a reverse swtich if it has the worn gear may be worn out

try wiggling the battery around and see if a light flashes

also look and see if a light flashes when you plug it in

i'm about 98% sure it's the charger

Users have reported problems with the charger and battery life on this drill. If possible verify the charger is working by swapping it with another or using a voltmeter on the plug. If it is, the battery has failed and will not hold a charge. It is uneconomical to replace it.

if that is the case without having the model number it sounds like they are not replaceable and you would have to buy a motor assembly. Alot of tool mfrs did not make these brushes replaceable.

What you can try is some WD 40 spray into the chuck and then find a GOOD pair of gloves or a rag and hold the collar of the chuck either by hand or use the rag and a pair of channel locks to protect it and then use the tool motor slowly and see if that doesn't release it

Look inside for centered screw and remove.

See if you can put a volt meter on the metal contacks of the charger to see what voltage it is producing. If you have a friend who has the same drill have him try to charge your batteries and then measure the battery voltage.

about an hour. there should be a charging light on the charger also.
