TF5 Problem

Hey there all! I am new around here, and new to airsoft. A little about myself... I am an army reservist here in Newfoundland, I have played my share of scenario paintball, and decided it was time to give airsoft a whirl!.
I bought a Tactical Force 5 from a friend of mine, knowing it wasn't in working condition, but confident with my constructive knowledge with electronics, and I love figuring out how things work I feel I can fix what ever problem there is. I know this gun has worked before, so it may just be a loose connection or a fuse.
When I plug in the battery in the stock, flick the safety off and squeeze the trigger, nothing happens, no sounds, no movement from the inside, NOTHING. It's almost like the battery has no charge (It does, it has been tested). Being new to airsoft and having little to NO knowledge on the schematics of of an airsoft marker I am skeptical on taking it apart just yet. If anyone with knowledge on what may be causing the problem, please help me. Thanks in advance, Butt486.

There doesn't appear to any damage on the fuse in the stock, is there another fuse in there somewhere?

No, just one fuse. Your next best bet is to strip it down, pull out the mechbox, and test the electrical contacts to the motor and the selector plate.

Discharge the battery and try charging it again, if not, as kalnaren said, strip it down and check.

This is what happens when you buy made in Chinasoft.

I will give it a shot, where can I find the blueprints/schematics for TF guns? I bought this gun used, so no user manual.

Perhaps the wires connected to the motor got disconnected. I would check those
