I have replaced the gas struts, but i have the same problem. I have oppened the motor, i put some more grease on the gears, but no solder paste. Still doesn't work properly. I was thinking to replace the hinge too.
Any other ideas ? Apart from replacing the whole motor 😄

I greased all my hinges up about a month ago and my boot is working better.
not 100% of the time, more like 90%.

A new motor is the only sure fire way I think.
