I was using my yoyo normally and I noticed that it was making a lot more noise and vibrating a lot and now when I throw it it stops suddently, does anyone know what could have happened? ---

Likely not Broken. What yoyo is it? Sounds like we will be introducing you to yoyo maintenance. ---

Is a Magic K1. I was testing to see what happened and i have 100% sure the problem is the bearing. He’s stuck, like there’s something inside him. I dont know how to explain. It seems like it doesn’t keep turning and that there is something stopping it. ---

Looks like you’ll have to remove the bearing shields and see what’s in there. ---

Sounds like the bearing locked up. Usually, a little bit of thin lube will get it moving again.
