Hi. Before I chuck it in the bin I need to make sure this has no hope.
Using the strimmer today, not that old, not used all that much, i suddenly stopped. Changed the fuse. Thing is it seems dead but now an again when pressing the trigger, it spins for a second, specially whe I plug it back in. Took it apart to make sure no weeds or threads wer cought. checked to see that no elctric wires were loose. All seemed ok
If it's a blown engine, would it spin? Thanks for any advic
Have you tried completely removing the cutting wire/module incase it i
caught or tangled?

Assuming it uses a motor with carbon brushes, these are classic symptoms of worn or sticking brushes.
Could also be some sort of bad connection or a bad switch.
