Default Hitec digital servo problem

I have an old HS-9525 that I have been using for rear steering. Today while I was out crawling I lost all power in it for one direction.
If I push it back to the side that has lost power it will still push the other way, but nothing back.

I pulled it apart and the gears are all fine. One wire (the black one) is pinched some because I got it in between a screw and the frame, however it still worked for a while after though.

any ideas?

I think the servo uses an H bridge to drive the motor, you probably have one leg that smoked.

ive been having the same problem..3 servos in 1 month all were the older style case Ti gear ..the one without the heat sinks...last one went up in smoke while going straight on a flat 45* incline wasnt even steering at the time
is there a melted spot or distortion on the bottom of the case?
