In general...if your AEG doesn't shoot when you pull the trigger...pulling the trigger more won't help.

Possible issues (trying to put it in order from simplest/cheapest to more involved)

1. Bad battery
- get a known good battery charged up by a known good charger from a buddy
- buy good batteries...Intellect, GP, Sanyo...green/blue no-name ones are CRAP
- buy a good digital smart charger

2. Toasted motor
- when your motor gets hot, the magnets in it will degrade (less power)...they don't get stronger (or back to as strong as they were) when it cools down
- swap the motor with a buddies known good motor

3. Mechbox
* could be a broken tooth on the gears or mangled piston
* could be a burned out switch/contacts (that's my guess after an iffy Batt/Motor)
* could be the spring is jamming up with the piston
* could be the wiring is damaged by all the over heating...in which case you're better off re-wiring the mechbox altogether
* could be bad shimming...but maybe/maybe not if it was shooting fine before these issues happened

#1 and #2 you can easily do yourself with a bit of help from a buddy. If you get to #3 and don't want to tear into it...find a good gun doc.
