make sure the wires are in the ecu the proper way and the buffer tube is back on the gun the the ecu in its propper place in the gearbox and also that the fuse isnt blown

ok update just replaced the fuse from my old mosfet to my new mosfet and i now see a faint blue light. and i can hear a faint noise coming from the ecu.

i got off the phone with a ptw technician from hotspotairsoft and i was told that my motor could be the problem. what could be wrong with the motor?

bout the motor, can a motor still turn if it has bad brushes? i dont want to drop $100 on a new motor if my problem can be fixed.

the brushes can be replaced, check here
also, check that the springs that press the brushes are in good condition and in position, so they can put enough pressure on the brushes

you can check if its the ptw/ctw motor bug, that can be repaired by a ptw/ctw technician by soldering the contacts of the windings.

After Reading your post, sounds like your motor. I had the same problem. With my RC background i decided to take the motor apart. There are three commutator (comm). By checking each side of comm with a Multimeter checker, i found out that one side had a shortage. Which causes the electric flow to stop. So i tested each point of where the coil wire are connected to the comm tab and found out where the shortage was. Knowing that coil wire has a coating on it i lifted back the tab carefully, that connects to the comm and scrape off the coating. Then press the tab back and recheck all the side again with a Mulitmeter. Signals on all three comm means theres electric connection flowing again. Reassemble the motor back and Presto. Its Alive. Since then i havnt had any problem.

First Remove the Pinion Gear. You will need to heat up the little screw that holds the pinion in place with a mini torch or a lighter. This will loosen up the loctite and make it easy to remove the screw.Then there are Four allen wrench screws on top. You can see it through the Hole. One in each corner. Remove all four. Then remove the bottom spring plastic screw and brush. The hard part is trying to remove the Magnet. Onces remove youll be able to dissemble the top and bottom housing leaving you with the Armature. You will see a white string thats been glue around the comm. Becareful and remove it trying to not damage the wires. Then you will see where the coil with and the comm is connected. Test each side out by touching one side of the comm to the other to see if it has connection. Goodluck. Ill be here if you have any question. Very Happy

Its kinda of hard to tough pull the maget. You might have to pry it apart. There nothing holding it. Just the magnet is really strong.
