  • I bought this Harry Potter Monster book thing on eBay. It was sold as faulty and the description said that it won't open and is stuck in the closed position!
    Let's see if I can work my magic and get this thing working again!
    Hope you enjoy!
    Steve

    08:03 my guess would be the motor got stuck at some point hence the non opening. That added to what must be over a decade of non use meant the stuck motor was seized in place. However you manually operating the belt both freed up the stuck motor and probably helped with it being seized by a little corrosion.

    Those monster eyes on the front cover are creepy as hell.
    It seems like the motor was stuck due to not being used or oxidation on the contacts inside the motor. When you turned the belt manually it turned the motor, scraping off some of that oxidation and allowing the motor to work again. Running the motor by locking and unlocking the book freed it up even more. Nice fix Steve.
