[Yorkie]

You can get the exploded view, parts list etc from ServiceNet is the Official Site for Parts & Service for (In the USA) for DEWALT, Porter-Cable, Black & Decker, Bostitch, Proto and DeVilbiss here:

The parts that are jiggered is - I assume - on the AC/DC Converter PCB for which De Walt provide no service information as they don’t service or repair the PCBs of course – they just supply replacement board. Except that for the DC500, they don’t any longer, even assuming that it were it economical to buy and fit one, which is doubtful:

It’s a long shot, but you could try contacting De Walt Service HQ in the UK, which is here and see if you can get through to someone friendly in the Technical Dept who might be able to give you a few pointers:

They also say: "If you have a question please visit our Online Customer Service Centre": [www.2helpu.com]

'2helpu'? I fear that the term ‘help’ is one of those words in the English language that's been seriously devalued over time – like ‘Engineer’ for example, or terms such as 'my word is my bond'.

Not very helpful I'm afraid.
