Powa Force drill charger is dead

Powaforce battery charger.

1. Measure the dc output (with multimeter) on female plug. Should read ±16 – 20V DC. If no voltage here open charger and measure 220v AC on input wire before transformer. No voltage faulty input cable or 3pin plug. If ok check for dc voltage after transformer. If transformer faulty (not worth repairing) replace with same dc volts and amp (important)output. Check now output cable.
2. If voltage is on cable but base does not light up, probable faulty capacitor. If light is on but does not charge, probable rectifier that gives too little amps.
3. Any good tv repair technician can help you. My tv tech already fix about 9 of my torch and drill chargers. Parts usually about R5 – R10.

How can you say its nothing shorted?did you check the parts and its all good?maybe you are looking for a sign of burned on the board but you cant see errors and you can find nothing if there is a shorted or defected electronic parts,by means of just looking it unless you are going to use a multi-tester.
if you still didn't check the parts,try to test the diodes,transistors & resistors..these 3 electronics parts are commonly have the risk of malfunctioning.
also,get attention to the charger wire/conductors if there is a cut inside it or the fuse might be opened.
