A friend of mine was about to throw a makita 481 away because it stopped working and was smoking. It's a 2014 brushless drill and looks hardly used so I've decided to try and rescue it.
I've got it home and it doesn't work, smoke just comes out from the battery area. Smells of strong plastic burning.
I've took it apart and noticed a black chard area around a resister which sits directly above the battery housing. This is the area the smoke comes out from.
Has anyone got any advice on this? Should I just purchased the same resistor and replace it?
