Have a problem with your yo-yo and not sure how to fix it?
Tell the Yo-Yo Doctor your problem and he will do his best to diagnosed and treat your

My Yo-Yo makes a noise while sleeping and it doesn't sleep for long. It used to be brilliant but since I changed the spring it
feels funny. I keep taking it apart and putting it back together. But it doesn't help. What's gone wrong?
Yo-Yo Doctor: Well the good news is it probably is not broken. It could be any number of things.
The string may be caught as you re-assembled the yo-yo
You may have not replaced the string correctly

Be sure to put all the pieces into a dish as you go so you don't lose them. Clean all of the bits and then put them back together.
