Ryobi 40 volt pack not charging

Its the charger base not the pack that needs a quick fix. The fix I’m presenting to you has risks to it. Be mindful of your safety and the safety of others.

You saved me a few $$ Thank you Sir… This worked awesome. What I did was used a small screwdriver that fit the T-20 torques screw played with it till I snapped off the little security pins so I could use a full T-20 torque head screwdriver and just unscrewed It, shorted out that little module like you showed in the video and reassembled works good… if it continues on not working and I need to open it up again then I’ll do the drill on the side and insert a screwdriver like you mentioned but for now it’s working great thank you

Mine flashes red before I even connect the battery, and this didn't help it.

Couldn't figure out how to open the case? Had to drill and dig holes into it, eh?

Mine did that and I just reset the battery override inside the battery lots of vids on this, that's what I referred to.
