Take the yoyo apart and flick it with your finger. Does it spin?

Make sure the string is around the bearing and not the axle when you put it back together. Also, make sure you’re using string with a loop on the bottom, otherwise it won’t work.

I hope I didn’t insult your intelligence, I’m just trying to help.

See if there is any damage to the bearing seat, or possibly the axle is slightly bent causing the bearing to bind against the bearing wall.

If it is screwed all what way together it doesn’t spin so try untwist it and see if that works
