I've just received a 2nd hand lego motor (peeron #71427), and to my

I remember seeing a website that showed the internals and possibly a way
to solve this (except for complaining to the person I bought it from).
Can anyone help me with a link (or other good advice) to see if anything
can be done.

After doing some Googling...

Hi all,

Unfortunately, there are very little chance that you may repair your 71427. Most
of the motors I have seen with locked shaft have their permanent magnet (made
from sintered magnetic powder) partially turned back into powder. That's
hopeless.

That said, since opening a 71427 is easier than for 43362, you can give it a
try...

Good luck!
