A while ago, one of our geared 9 volt motors (the new grey motor) stopped
working. I just chalked it up to attrition and sort of forgot about it. Today
another one stopped working. I was wondering what kind of lifespan do these
motors have?

Also, I sort of think there's nothing really wrong with the motor, maybe it's
just that the internal gears have slipped loose or something. Does anyone know
of a way to open up the motor and fix it if this is the case? I don't see any
easy way. I popped off the back of one of them and don't see any way to get
through to the gears without ruining the thing.

Thx!
