Gaurav,

Certainly isn't in my case, these motors are stalled so bad I can't get them
to move at all now unless I stick a 24t gear on them and turn them by hand.
Even then it requires considerable force. The cables I've tried on these
motors work fine on other ones I have.

Hello all,
   I don't remember if other people have posted about this or not but • I'll
ask anyway.
I have 3 motors that all stall or will not start with out some help. Has
anyone of Lego come up with away to fix this problem? My motors are 1-2 • yrs
old and have not had what I would call a great deal of use. I have other
motors from radio shack that are still running after 6 yrs of hard us. And
they don't cost as much.
   Any help would be great.

This might sound a bit silly, but it could be your electric cables. I also
have a bunch of motors (most are 3-4 years old, one is 7 years old) and I
use quite a bit. As far as I have noticed, they haven't had any problems.
However, I have several faulty wires that either need to be twisted a
certain way to conduct electricity or are completely useless (won't conduct
at all), so it may be the problem of a bad cable that you are facing.
