black and decker trimmer

This forum is so helpful....I thought someone else might have encountered \this problem....I have a nine inch black and decker cordless trimmer. It works just fine for the size of my yard....but I have encountered a problem....The cord finally ran out on it....I took the bottom off and decided to replace the cord, as I was told that you did not have to buy a whole new spool. Unfortunately however, it does not rotate most of the time.....DID I LOSE a spring or something else. THERE is a little white arm under the spool that has a red dot on it I BELIEVE.....I have looked at it several times, but I am not exactly mechanically inclined....HELP IF YOU CAN....NOMADIC

my B&D has a spring in it..i believe the white tab you speak of is so the spool can't slip backwards
