Front cracking noise

Well in fact, I will not need to try with another wheel. As I was riding
home, the noise kept increasing, and at some point, my front wheel
started to slow me with a drag similar to slightly pulling on the
brakes.
That definetely comes from the front hub. When turned, the wheel slow
down to a halt in less than one second, even with the brakes wide open,
and while nothing is making any noise that would suggest a friction from
somewhere else.
I will try to service the dynamo hub, before considering buying a new
one.
Thank for all the advice!
Please keep us posted on how it goes. I've opened and worked on an
ancient Sturmey-Archer Dynohub, but never a Shimano dynamo hub. I'll be
curious what you find.
