Is it a brick or a yoyo? Mine brick failed and I had to re-solder the wire where it enters the brick. Split the brick apart using a knife, resolder the wire, test it, then glue it back together and use a dab of black silicon rubber for a strain relief where the cord enters the brick.
You've got little to lose, as they are considered unrepairable. Of course it may not be the wire.
