Funny story, my dad bought a LED flood light and we used it all the time. One day the flood light stopped working so I threw it on the ground as hard as I could to try to break it, and then turn it back on and it actually lit up!! The next night it stopped working again.    So I threw it on the ground again, and then it actually shattered to pieces. That's how stupid LEDs are!!!!!!

Its always fun to demolish an item that has dies like that

Best thing to do with an LED 

Also works with stuck starters for Fluorescents - Sometimes....

Yep it does
but if you slam them on the floor too hard, the glass bulb inside breaks .LOL.LOL.

Was it an integrated led fixture or bulb?

Have you said the L word?! 

But yes, smashing L fixtures or bulbs is quite funny.    Depending how bad or good was your day will say how smashed the lamp is. 

I wonder if you smash an L lamp it will releases its toxic materials.

It had released its toxic materials before it was even assembled (the real acrid stuff flows out in gallons from the semiconductor refining process. But its far away in China so according to the EU, it doesn't affect global warming in the EU)

The day I believe anything the EU tells me will be the day I see pigs doing a fly-past

Then yes, id totally deserved it as most of them a crap.

When electric motor seize (jam) up, sometimes you can hit them with a hammer, amd they will work again.

Motors dont randomly seize out of the blue. Trying to fix such stuff with a hammer is most likely to do nothing except more damage

There can be something mechanical stuck in there, and if the motor had been powered, it pinched the foreign object so it won't come out easily. Besides, the object might come loose then get stuck somewhere else and do more damage (hit windings, ...). Besides, the object could be a broken part of something else in the gear...

There can be a lubrication problem - Missing lubricant, crap lubricant that became sticky with age, ..

And there could be electrical problem - Bad capacitor, missing phase, ..

I know, but much of the time, it works. I ussally put in some oil, and then hit it (Not very hard, of course) and it works!
