Black and Decker LDX 120C Troubleshooting

The battery is fully charged and when I try to use the drill it is not functioning at all.

The battery might not be functioning anymore, if the battery doesn’t provide enough charge the drill will not be able to function. So you will want to replace the battery.

If the wiring connection between the battery and the chuck is lose or not connected properly then the drill won’t function. So you will want to check on the wiring connection to make sure nothing is lose.

If the drill has a lot of dirt or stuff that accumulated in the chuck it might be jamming the drill and clogging the rotation. Make sure you clean the residue inside the drill.

If the motor is not functioning it might be because of multiple reasons. Some of the components might be broken, and you will want to replace these components. It might be because of loose connection; fix the wiring. Battery might be weak so the motor doesn’t function; change the battery. Follow our Motor Replacement Guide

No matter what I do the battery is not charging

The charger might not be charging properly, so check on the charger or just try a different charger.

If the battery has reached its life span it will not be powerful enough to supply the charge the drill needs. It will be best to change and get a new battery.

If the drill overheats because of over use then it is best to let it cool down and disconnect the battery and then use it again. If it’s too cold then change the environment where you are using the drill.

The charger might not be plugged in completely so not enough electricity is flowing to charge the battery, so make sure the charger is plugged in correctly.

While using the drill it just completely shuts off and doesn’t work anymore.

After long use the battery might overheat which would shut of the power provided the drill. So let the drill cool off and then use it again.

After long use the battery might run out of power because it wasn’t charged well enough. So make sure the battery is fully charged and functional.
