Skimmer pump not working

[menglish]

So, I took my skimmer off like to give it a good cleaning.

Ran the whole skimmer in a solution of diluted vinegar over night, i then turn it off and completed the cleaning.

Put it back together and reinstalled it into the sump, turned it on and nothing, It wont come back on.

Its a Reef octopus Regal 220INT skimmer with a DC pump.

The pump get power as the power brick is on and when plugged in, the lights on the controller all turns on for a sec then back off.

Any ideas what the problem could be?

CoralVue says they no longer have parts for it and i will have to buy a new pump ($375).

Hard for me to accept its broken when it was working fine only a few mins before i completed the cleaning.

Figured i will ask to see if i can avoid buying a new pump.

 

Much thanks

Those pumps won't work if the impeller is off balance. Maybe try taking out the impeller and putting it back in. Make sure a hair or speck of something didn't get in it, make sure there aren't any bumps or anything.
