Thanks for the suggestion. I have to open it up and check that.Quote

Are you able to spin the motor by hand, or the motor+gearbox? There could be debris in the gearbox thats jammed it up. Another thing to look at is acceleration settings. With a 5:1 gearbox, the motor needs to spin 5x faster for the same output speed (ditto for the accelerations), this might be too much for your stepper and is causing it to skip steps which results in the clicking noise.
Edit:sorry, on mobile, didn't see the part about you testing with the gearbox off. The last thing you can check is if you have a broken coil wire or a short. A broken/faulty motor is rare, even for those coming out of China.
I did try switching the wires around but i only got reaction from one order. Sadly that was just clocking.Quote

Are the wires of the stepper connector in the right order? You said, you could light a LED, which is a good sign. But maybe two wires have to be switched to make it work?
I actually tried 700 and 800 at x16 microstepping but thanks for letting me know.Quote

A 5:1 geared extruder would typically have around 700 to 800 steps/mm at x16 microstepping.
