There's a little piece of steel (called a key) that locks the gear or sprocket to the motor shaft. My guess would be that this key has sheared off and needs to be replaced. Not a hard job. But you should have some tools and mechanical ability before you attempt it.

How does a person fix a broken garage door remote?
Many individual never thought of the work our garage door does - lifting and closing a large door every day, over and over again.. The fact is, your garage door opener really doesn't do much work, because of a physics helper, the spring! Springs are utilized as the door is lowered, and the springs are stretched out (the motor literally pushes the garage door down). When it is time to lift the door, the springs do 95% of the work as they recoil and pull the door back up, leaving the garage door motor to do little more than wind up the loose cable or chain. This is why most garage door openers are rated at only 1/2 to 1 horse power - it doesn't take much power to lift up a garage door that is being pulled up by stretched springs.
