Ryobi P202: Drill will run for only a few seconds

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 21:29:36 -0700

When you pull the trigger the drill only runs a short time and stops. Releasing the trigger and re-pulling it does nothing. If you release the trigger and switch direction, then pull the trigger it run but again only for a few seconds.

Ryobi P202: Why does the drill no longer work, but the led blinks 5 times?

Sun, 05 Jul 2020 07:18:34 -0700

I used the drill for one full charge, then removed the battery and charged it. After installing the battery, the drill no longer works. The LED light on the front end blinks 5 times when depressing the trigger, but will not blink again until I remove the battery, reinstall and depress the trigger again. I’ve tried 4 different Ryobi batteries all with the same result.

Ryobi Power Drill: Where to start? Ryobi LSD120

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 09:37:30 -0700

I have a very old compact drill that has served me very well. But it’s died. I would like to fix it. I have recharged both batteries and swapped them out: nothing. It was working ok then just stopped - no sign of anything going wrong beforehand. Where do I start with identifying what’s wrong? Any suggestions as to most likely causes of the problem?
