Because it sat for 4 months your DC brush or brushes could be the problem. It might have accumulated dust and erosion in between the armature. If you have not yet bought a new one, spray it down with electronic cleaner insert the battery again and try it. It should improve some but if not, give it a light spray of WD-40, let it drip out some and then try again.

SOURCE: Ryobi 18V lithium battery won't charge

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. The yellow and blinking red indicate a defective cell. Since it has lithium cells and is that new any repair to it would be a waste of your time. Ryobi tools purchased in 2008 have a 2 year warranty. I am guessing you probably got it at a home depot and you should return it under the warranty. All new Ryobi tools have a three year warranty. Good Luck! and Thanks for using fixya!

SOURCE: I have a rigid 18v finishing nailer. It is about 6

I assume you have a R250AF18. The operator's manual for this nailer is here. There's an exploded diagram with a parts list here.

Could be a couple problems. A soft click sounds an awful lot like electric motor failure, but given that it's 6 moths old, this is a warranty issue. Rigid has a 3 year limited warranty on this tool. You can check here for a service center near you or give them a call at 866-539-1710 and they'll take care of you. Ridgid's customer support is generally very good.

when pressed down the main switch is activated, so switch could be faulty or connections loose

My 18 gauge Ryobi nailer, with a fully charged battery, will not fire and the light just flashes?

Read the manual. The flashing lights indicate one of several conditions (out of nails, jammed nail, etc.). The manual has clear, easy to follow instructions for troubleshooting.

I bought a 18v ryobi hedge trimmer it came with a p102 battery, I had 2 p103 batteries why won't the p103's work in my hedge trimmer?

I do not know, but I have looked at generic battery versions as copies of those two and they seem one and the same in most respects.
So my thought is do they charge up? do they power anything else OK?
Then I would look at the contact areas to see if there is a difference like one has a longer contact or some bit of plastic is on one or not the other.
Many types I have found start out as specific, then over the years manufacturers sell out of older model types then decide to unify whats left to cover a slew of older models.
If charging is the issue then it is a real problem as these modern batteries require exact charging and if its controller finds a battery is below a safe charge up level point they become a brick.
Do not try to "fix" them as methods used on "tolerant" Nicad types to get them to work, is not safe on them they have a BAD reaction to overcharge situations.
If they are not that old maybe you can do a swap deal with Ryobi?

Hope this helps..........

My ryobi 18v reciprocating saw will not work just makes one qucik high pitch sound and then dead. battery is fully charged.

The mechanic is blocked internal try if the the I think to hear the commentator of the anchor is overloaded to the sound think the wiring of the electric field and brush holder very hot seen that many parts have sliding contacts , turn the fin of the armature between the ventilation hole to see if its not blocked .

Ryobi will not start

The saw you're asking about is battery powered, not gas. If this is the actual model you have, I don't know where you could even put the gas. Have you charged the battery?
