Chuck it away ,( no pun intended).
I've had every expensive brand name cordless , but the one I use most came from Aldi for £39 or something. I do a lot of heavy work with it because I do property development and build all sorts of stuff such as log cabins for fun in my retirement. I don't generally buy cheap tools, but this was bought for an emergency job and it's become my first choice.
Pop into Aldi then, but in any case my experience is that once these things go wrong they're not worth the time buggering about to try and fix them so replace it.
