Default Harris Smoke Pump Issue

I think I have a problem with my pump. I had been using it for the last month or so and it was performing well, but I wanted to change the setup in the radio yesterday. Wanted to change switches. In doing that, I can't get the pump to respond to the radio anymore after playing with it for a while. When I turn it on it just produces ascending beeps, one after another about 1 second intervals and won't do anything else no matter what I do. I even set the pump back up the original way it was working before and still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas or seen this happen?

It seems like the ESC for the pump may have taken a dump. It appears to be just a brushless motor with an ESC. Wonder if I could put a new ESC on it?

I wouldn't do that. If he has a new pump it's using a brushless motor and you need a 3 phase ESC to drive it.

I guess I was just figuring a way to tell if he had a program issue or if it was infact the pump

It's a small motor so virtually any ESC will test it.

I determined there is an issue with the pump but the manufacturer is taking care of it for me.
