that's friggin awsome. I'm guessing your motor locked and burst or burned distorting the plastic. Is your hardware OK?
 
I almost choked on my stoggie when i saw the thread title, "News at 11... Via Aqua p\/\/n3d! lol.
 
*sniffle* So young to be suffering middle-age spread...


I doubt the impeller did that, probably a power problem that started meltdown of the epoxy surrounding the coils inside.
 
well, i cant seem to get past the black smelly stuff. This evening i'll take a saw to it or something.

Oh, and the impeller is completly stuck in place. maybe the glue from my impeller mod somehow regluified itself and dripped down.

"Regluified" Nice vocabulary :p So do you have any teaser pics?
 
LMFAO. I love seeing the title Via Aqua Pwnd up there. Its one thing to say my pump broke, but to say it was pwned is just bad ***. I almost spit my damn coke out on my comp because of you :). Sorry about the pump though. At least you get to do a autopsy on it and show us how it died. It looks a little bloated though. Must have been dead for days..

looks like a small bomb went off in that thing.

So if the winding is bad it just causes a short and melts right? wouldnt it melt and kind of sag down instead of in all directions :confused:
 
since the impeller couldnt spin, all that energy that was formerly used for pumping was turned into heat. i guess all the heat build up made the epoxy expand.
