Bosch al3640 charger not charging?

I think as the previous contributor suggests, you'll struggle changing surface mount components.

Old fashioned thru-hole stuff is bigger and easier

Surface mount is tiny and awkward unless you have proper rework tools - and I ain't talking about just having a small soldering iron.

How sure are you that it's not the battery

It's a few years old now, but hasn't had much use as the drill has been in retirement for a bit. Ghsjs I've carried out plenty of multimeter work during boiler repairs so I'm comfortable testing, nd a can solder too, not the best soldering but it does the job. So looking to see if anyone has repaired similar, so I can unsolder a part to test, rather than clutching at straws. Cheers. Terry jones

Have you even tried to work on a board full of surface mount components?

If it's new, or nearly new, why not contact Bosch for a warranty repair/replacement?
