I have a Bosch PSB18 Li-2 Cordless drill. Both batteries are charged, but when I pull the trigger nothing happens. The white light and three greens flash four times. Any ideas? Temperatures are normal. Both batteries do the same. Used to work beautifully.
HI my Bosch PSB 18 LI-2 has stopped working. while it was in use I noticed a small amount of smoke come from the drill, then the drill stopped! When I pull the trigger the light comes on as does the battery charge indicator. What could be wrong? would it be the brushes?
First The model is pretty new. you need to register your tool on line. this takes you from a one year warranty to a three year warranty. They will give you a pro-vantage number. with that said it sounds like a trigger switch. Yhe trigger switch is the brain of your tool. not only does it do your variable speed but it also controlls the brake and your fuel gauge. Because of the cost I highly recomend taking it to your closes Bosch service center.
Couple of questions?
Is out of warranty? In the UK Bosch is 3 years
Is the direction control in mid way? Have you tried both directions?
My best guess if all these fail is the motor pinion is stripped.
Go online, download a partslist from the Bosch website and see if you can locate the item. It may be worth a dealer look at it, it may not. If you have a pal who's competant to open it and deduce whats wrong for the price of a beer, go this route.
