Now the esc won't power on when plugged into my battery (the proper way). The fan comes on and I get a blinking light if I plug the esc back into the program box with battery.

I can hook the program box with battery to the esc and plug it into the computer and the computer recognizes the esc. So I don't think the esc is completely fried.

Any advice?
