Makita brushless drill LXPH05 doesn’t work.
You pull the trigger and the light goes on and it sometimes you may see it barely want to move.
I replaced the switch and it did not change a thing.
There is a black box that the wires from the switch go to.
Could that be the problem?
If it’s trying to start but can’t then something is blocking the motor. This is the first thing to check. It’s brushless one so there are no brushes inside that can wear out but if nothing is blocking the motor then it could be that the magnets lost their strength as from what I see this is a very very very old drill if I’m not wrong.
