My trusty Makita HR3000C has finally packed in after 2 1/2 years of very hard use. The green light comes on when the trigger is pressed and I have checked the motor bushes and they seem fine, but the machine is otherwise dead. Has anyone got any ideas how to fix it?

Has it got an overload microswitch somewhere that has tripped out? ( and wants resetting)
My Makita drill has . A very small yellow-green button on the side body.
Unfortunately no button. I will dissect it over the weekend and then probably pay for someone to fix it.

Hi,
Search old uk.diy messages for "Bosch Router working intermittently" and read the full thread.
The principles for fault finding are broadly similar for electrical faults regardless whether the tool is a drill or a router. Hopefully it will help you when you open it up...
Let us know how you get on.
Alan.
I took it in for repair. I was unable to find any faults in the limited time I had, so I bought a new one as I needed it for work. 10 days later and it is still not back from the "expert". It will come in handy as a spare when fixed.
