First check the fuse, then:

1. Not sure if there is a common reason but we can try to narrow it down; do you hear any clicks, or movement of any kind form the blind when you try to raise it?

2. When you know what is wrong you can then go on to find the replacement. It could be as simple as a gear, like you say, or it might be like what happened on mine which was a blown track on the PCB.

You might have to disassemble the blind to find the faulty part.

Yes, several people on here have had this problem. Usually it is caused by a bad connection on the motor. I think mine was a poor earth connection. Cleaned and is still working a couple of years later.
