If the switch is OK (and on) you should have power to you RX and servo.
It could be a bad on/off switch.
I would use a volt meter and look for power on both sides of the plug from the lipo to the ESC.
And ....Yes...A lose wire can do this.
Then try taking the switch off and twist the two wires together.
Let us know where that gets you.
