ok so i built a reservoir to house my pump, so i could put it in my case (it was made out of 2 plastic electrical boxes siliconed and screwed together) and after i got everything completely sealed, i installed it in my system.
the flow goes like this:
pump out -> gpu -> radiator -> radiator -> cpu -> box in (reservoir containing pump)
i have 2 radiators next to one another at the top of my case, and the pump enclosure is at the bottom.
i had to cut the plug off the power cord for the pump to install it in the box, so as a temporary fix, i just stripped the ends and wire-nutted them (yes i made sure they werent touching each other)
i plugged in the pump, and all i heard was humming, so i unplugged it and plugged it in again, and it kicked in and started pumping (note i did put water in the reservoir b4 i turned on the pump)
the pump worked and i added some water, then i unplugged it to let the little bubbles collect so they could be gotten rid of. this was my inevitable mistake.
when i plugged the pump back in, i got nothing. no humming, no clicking, no nothing. i tried it in 6 different outlets, both plugs in both. nothin doin. can anyone tell me that my pump isnt dead but just sleeping?!?!
i really dont want to have to rebuild the enclosure cause it took me a hella-long time to make it and it cost $$ which im kinda runnin out of right now...
