My beloved drill/driver just konked - makes a rattling noise and doesn't turn when trigger pulled. Need some info on how to fix if possible - any suggestions? Thanks, Nick

It might be even simpler than you would think. I thougt my Makita bit the dust a few times only to find the slow/fast button vibrated or got hit into the middle position......

This is a similar situation, with a slight 'Twist'.
I was in the market for a second drill, and recently walked into HD to see the Ryobi 14.4V set on sale for $129. Drill, flashlight, and small circular saw. I couldn't resist - (and the saw comes in really handy much more than I thought.)
The very next day, my 5 yr. old DeWalt gave out.
I'm sure it needs a new clutch, but it's just not as pressing to get it into the repair shop now.
True story,

Figured it out
Steven was right sorta. The speed button on top was disconnected from from the button on motor. The gear was stuck in middle. Just reconnected it. Good as new. Thanks, Nick
