08:03 my guess would be the motor got stuck at some point hence the non opening. That added to what must be over a decade of non use meant the stuck motor was seized in place. However you manually operating the belt both freed up the stuck motor and probably helped with it being seized by a little corrosion.
Nice fix Steve! Too late now but perhaps a little contact cleaner dowsed all over the belt and wheel would ensure future working. Keep up the Rapping bud, love it!
My daughter is off to Harry Potter land in October and she would absolutely go mental for something like this. Love the vids Steve-O. You've come a long way my friend - A fellow Manc.
Damn, was hoping the internals were visible as I'm trying to make my own and was hoping for a little insight. Kudos on unsticking the mechanism though.
Those monster eyes on the front cover are creepy as hell. It seems like the motor was stuck due to not being used or oxidation on the contacts inside the motor. When you turned the belt manually it turned the motor, scraping off some of that oxidation and allowing the motor to work again. Running the motor by locking and unlocking the book freed it up even more. Nice fix Steve.
We have one of those. The fault of ours is that it doesn't lock lol. Only paid a few quid in a charity shop though and I'm quite supprised the kids haven't completely destroyed it yet. They've managed ro blind it with playdoh though
God love IPA, after watching several of your videos, I was able to fix my touchpad in my laptop by removing it and cleaning it with a soft brush and IPA. I'd broke it by spilling larger in it, which sent it mental....all is well now.
Hey stez, you and David are awesome! I love your vids, and they inspired me to start this yt channel and try to unbreak things on my own here in Brazil! Thank you and keep up the great work!
I think you stroked him in the wrong direction to be honest. You stroked top to bottom and he makes a different noise than when you stroke him bottom to top, My son had one of these things. It was a pain in the butt to open when it worked.
Un libro mostruoso come quello e esattamente perfetto di tenere in casa per la festa di Halloween, e se venisse anche la nona di vederla esalterà di tanta felicità,🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣
Steve, must ask where you got your TH-cam Subscriber counter device in the background from. Want to get my nephew similar for Xmas, is this something you bought or made yourself?
out of curiosity are you familiar with super glue activator? it's a game changer.. stuff like you fixed there, super glue on one side, activator on the other, hold them together for 3 seconds and boom instant bond, no heavy book needed

Yes Steve. Send me the book, or else.
Strange..... The video shows as minutes old for me, yet you replied two days ago ,?!
Not magic... It's witchcraft ,😳
Yes Steve. Send me the book, or else.
Yes Steve. Send me the book, or else.
No Steve, keep your bloody book, I don't want it.
(No but seriously, send me the book Steve, go on, I dare you)
@@WhiteG60 aaah, makes sense.
Although amusing to see the many reply attempts still coming. 😂
Time for that Lockpicking Lawyer crossover! You may have taken a few more minutes than he usually does, but I'm sure you'd win the rap battle.
😁 😂 how awesome would that be?
"This is the Lockpicking Lawyer and today i have a special guest. He is not good at lockpicking whatsoever, but i have been told if i break a lock he is propably the guy that can fix it. Welcome Captain Steve Bodge!"
That was going to be my suggestion! Send it to him! Lol
@@Raziel1984 I read that in the lock picking lawyers voice
This is more secure than some MasterLocks that LPL has had.

Kind of a disappointment, seeing that intricate exterior, opening it in the special way from the movies, and then it’s just a cheap plastic box…
Exactly my thoughts! What a piece of garbage! STUPID TOY....
Could have at the very least lined it with velvet or felt! Maybe even a nice magical inspired journal & wand/pen! They Really Missed The Mark!
@@marshawargo7238 totally, or something that looked like a book page!
Watching you fix something every Saturday has become a solid part of my weekly routine now.
S O L I D
Thanks a lot! i had the same issue, did the same thing, now it works !
No matter how accidental or unorthodox the fix is, it's still a fix lol 😆 nice one x
Nice fix Steve!
Too late now but perhaps a little contact cleaner dowsed all over the belt and wheel would ensure future working.
Keep up the Rapping bud, love it!
For a man who hasn't seen Harry Potter, you worked some amazing spells there to get that open!! VOS rapping those incantations like a pro as always!!!
Thanks Greg! I feel like I should probably watch the film now! 😁
@@StezStixFix but how did you know how to use the words correctly lol
@@StezStixFix you absolutely should watch all the films.
Oh you should watch them. They are great.

HOW does this channel has no three million subscribers yet is beyond my comprehension. 😀

Cool item

Proving the old saying "use it, or loose it" holds true!

Hahah. The little ones always know a way to improve (in there eyes) toys!
Steve has got the magic touch!
Yes, Steve. Send me the book, or else.
i recommend tapping it lightly with a sledge hammer at full force to send the bits flying.
don't forget to recycle the debris.
Probably damp ingress stopped the motor nice easy fix 😁
Yes Steve
Yes Steve, send the book for me😊
Greetings from Hungary!
Brilliant Steve great fix
Steve "How do I get into this thing?" Me hearing Hagrid.. "Stroke the spine of course!"
Aww. Saw this too late. Hope the person who gets it loves it!
God love IPA, after watching several of your videos, I was able to fix my touchpad in my laptop by removing it and cleaning it with a soft brush and IPA. I'd broke it by spilling larger in it, which sent it mental....all is well now.
Next it will be fixing the Lament Configuration from hellraiser
I don't know why seeing and hearing my name in this week's rap made me giggle like a kid, but it definitely did.
Send book. ... I don't want it! But now you know I watched the whole video 😆
Well done Steve! now make your way to professor Slughorn's class.
nice fix
i think revisit this one and open it completely up and service all the moving parts so it doesn't get jammed again
I've been seeing this in my feed thinking the thumbnail said "alcoholorama" for ages
Yes Steve send me the book or else 😅
yes Steve you can send the book. I come from Denmark
Next week on the Lock Picking Lawyer!
That was interesting Harry Potter and Star Wars books "cross-over"
Nice!
Steve magically stroking a growler to get inside 😮
Yes. Steve. Send it to me. Im in Polish Polar Station for a year.
I thought for sure you ended up accidentally getting super glue on the belt. Glad that didn't happen
4 stroke gang represent. Keep em high and tight
Yes Steve I want this book . ... Or else you can keep it 😉😉
LOVING IT MATE !
silly thing. stuffed by a belt - thats where Tech Moan excels - he loves replacing belts :)
Stupid book ! 😍
Loved it and gg for the repair !
Thanks Bruno! 👍
The most low tech fix on the channel, quality.
Yes Steve send me the book or else 😂
Yes Steve! Send me! The book! Or else!
I Think it was just the old saying of "use it, or loose it"! Probably sat on a shelf long enough for it to have forgotten what it was supposed to do.
Clean the pulley with ipa and maybe new band or clean the band with ipa so it grips better
Loved this!
Woah that was some sorcery fixing that one! Are you a wizard, Steve?
Usually when you stroke and finger something that gnarly looking, it locks you away for 18 years and/or runs away with 50% of everything you own :)
That's the kind of retro toy that's going to be worth a lot in 20 years. Keep it.
Absolutely! But take the batteries out though
Great video Steve ,,every time,,,
I was kind of hoping you open it up and do some kind of maintenance.
Steve what i the number of that J tip you useinf on your hakko
Hey stez, you and David are awesome! I love your vids, and they inspired me to start this yt channel and try to unbreak things on my own here in Brazil!
Thank you and keep up the great work!
Can we have "word to Ya Mother" in the rapping please!!!
Steve, Where did you get that shirt??!! I need one!
And there was me thinking you'd got your hands on the Necronomicon and were going to decipher it....
The beginning made me laugh 😂
I''m just like Han Solo always stroking my own Wookie...😁😁😁 No Steve, don't send me the book or else......
I wonder how many Harry Potter nerds were yelling to stroke the spine when you originally asked how to open it, lol.
Yes Steve. Send me the book, or else. and hope you are well
Yes I want the book of you think 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Yes Steve! Send me else.
You literally didn't see the screws in the hinge...
I wouldnt mind some book rebinding TH-camr to get this and make it more realistic lol cant believe I never saw that thing before
Erm! No thanks Steve! I don't want it!🤣🤣
Sounded like my mrs was trapped inside the book! I had my fingers crossed that you wouldn't be able to open it! 🐵
Yes plz
Send me the book or else... I'll send the wife round 🤣
Great rap as always!!!
Yes Steve, send me the microscope or else 😂🤣😂
