Famas Gearbox Issue

Hi everyone! I come with a question that i need answered.
My Famas doesnt fire anymore....

Here is the run down off events:

Sat for about 4 months over winter.
Charged the 8.4V battery up in installed to the rilfe.
Turn her on and nothing happens....
I hurd a little buzzing noise inside the gearbox area.
So i hemmed and hawed if i should open up the gearbox....I did.
I checked all the gears,piston,shims,and greased areas and they all checked out.
The motor seems to be kinda funny tho. You cant spin it really easy.
I pulled the motor right out of there and bench tested it with 8.4v straight to it and all it does is buzz...

Notes:

The rilfe is a TM Famas SV STOCK! No mods what so ever!!! Just a scope
Never stored with the battery is it.
Zero corrotion on anything
Rifle is in like new condition.

So in saying all the what ya think. Cooked motor after 4 months of not using it?


Thanks.
