Default align esc help

I need some help resetting a Align ESC. It's the model that comes with the se v2, RCE-BLX 35A. It's been working great and flying fine, but I was in a hurry this evening to fly when I got home from work. I had the throttle bumped up when I powered the heli up. It beeped and went into program mode. Since I didn't have the manual to program it, I unpluged the battery. Now when I power it up it doesn't do anything. I have the manual now but can't get it back in program mode or anything. When I power it up I get the first beep and it powers the reciever so all the servos work but not the motor. Thanks!

Make sure the throttle hold is in the off position and the throttle is in the up position before u power up the ESC
Make sure the throttle curve is 0,50,100 for setting teh ESC.

what he is saying is that if your throttle curve is not stock, 0,25,50,75,100 it will not program and just sit there and look at you. Put a throttle curve pack to stock and then program.

here are the directions. http://align.com.tw/html/en/c_rindexe.htm

I don't know about other radios but with the DX6, if the throttle hold is ON, then the Align ESC will not go into setup mode.

Tolla and da king are right, your ESC is fine and you can't keep sending it back everytime you screw up, so you may as well learn to set it up right. I have done what you describe so many times, and once you understand how the ESC works you can tweak it to your own preferences. Rule #1---- Setup is everything.

Hey, we were all nubee's once, Im not the sharpest crayon in the box either, it took me over an hour to reprogram that damn Align ESC the first time- 30 minutes of that spent online trying to find some instructions in english.

The EXACT thing just happened to me. I was setting up my new radio, had the throttle reversed so it went into program, unplugged it, now it won't work at all! And YES I do know how to operate my radio AND the ESC, so that's not the problem doubters.

How did you get yours replaced badazzbusa? When I called Align it said press 7 for English, but then proceeded in asianese for awhile with hold music, then disconnected me.
