I think the motor has an integral planetary reduction geartrain, so it might not be possible to turn the shaft even under normal conditions. It sounds like this might however be seized, as there would probably be some visible movement of the cam if the motor and geartrain were free but the linkage jammed elsewhere.

I would remove the motor and gearbox assy. which is probably as simple as removing the strap from over it, and test outside the projector.
