My death star turns alright and the shield goes down fine, but it makes a loud whiring sound, when I touch the death star the whirling sound stops for a while until it begins again.

Does anyone know what this is ? Do I take it to pieces and just clean it up or is the motor on the way out ?

I can take a video of it in whiring action if would help

This happens to me too but it seems to be some kind of software glitch -- like the motor to raise or lower the door keeps running when it shouldn't. Sometimes it will stop by itself, or if I end my ball it will stop. Running 1.04 software.

I am running 1.07, i was running 1.03 and it did the same. The motor sounds like its dirty or on its way out.

Maybe there is something that needs to be replaced or cleaned ?
