    Roybi cordless drill help desk
    18V Roybi. After I open the unit, the drill doesn't reverse anymore. Do I have a bad switch? Or something wrong with the battery?

    Nothing wrong with battery. Nothing wrong with switch. You either did not reassemble it properly or you damaged something.

    There is a detent under the directional slide switch. You possibly reassembled it with the switch in one position instead of in the middle. Nothing wrong with battery.
