I'll most likely just try every other option first before ordering it i guess...

It may actually be your battery...I had a similar issue. Your battery may have enough voltage but not enough amperage to run the motor. The battery will actually run some electronics but not others. Use a battery tester to test each individual cell of the battery, even if it's reading a full charge, or try a friend's battery. At least it's worth a shot before ordering something you might not need.
