I got a splash dv888 a couple weeks ago. It was amazing for a few badys, and then it stopped sleeping for very long, and became responsive some of the time. In the past 2 days, the bearing has stopped moving for more than 2 seconds if i flick it. I cleaned it using lubricant and everything people said to, and nothing has happened. what do i do? should i get a new bearing, or will the same thing just happen.

ps its the original spec bearing it came with.

You can simply clean the bearing saves you some bucks 😃

You don’t clean the bearing with lubricant - you clean it with mineral spirits for a few minutes and then put the tiniest drop of thin lube in it. There are lots of tutorials on youtube for how to do it.
