What fuse did you buy for it? If its 15 amp or lower, that's why it blew. *Most* AEG's use a 20-amp fuse.
On top of Radio Shack, some other places that will carry fuses are: Ace Hardware, Checker/Autozone (any car parts or hardware store, really, should carry the fuse you need). Buy a single fuse at first, and test it in your gun. I'd just bring the lower receiver with you, test-fire it a few times, to make sure it won't blow the fuse, so you can just go right back in the store. Faster/cheaper than buying a few fuses, then testing it, to find out none of them worked, and then having to drive all the way back to wherever you bought the fuses.
If you blow a 20-amp fuse, and aren't running higher than an M120, run your motor outside the gun (on its own), and see if that blows the fuse, or heats it up after 5-10 seconds of being on. If it's heating it up, and its a 15+amp fuse, your motor is likely to be shot. If it doesn't, then you'll want to open your gearbox, and see whats wrong.

Don't bother calling "Surrender" on me, unless you are A) Right by me or B) Shooting 450+ with .20's. I WILL shoot you if I see you, otherwise. I am stubborn, and don't like to surrender. Consider yourself warned.
