Default Need help troubleshooting

I am running a Aitronics 94780m servo for my steering setup in my berg. I was running it last friday in normal circumstances and not binding it up. I went out to run it today and after plugging in my batter the servo turned to where the travel adjustment is limited to and would not turn any farther in any direction. I know its getting power due to it turning but I am not sure what is wrong. Here is the rest of my set up. Im running a CC BEC, Krawler Hobbies 1300 3s battery. I havent had any issues with this at all prior to today. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I dont have the receipt any longer so I cant do the replacement on it. PLEASE GIVE ME ANY HELP

1-Does the throttle work correctly?
2-Did you try unplugging and then replugging the steering?

If "yes" to 1 & 2, try swapping the steering servo to the throttle channel on the RX, see if the throttle trigger makes the servo work correctly.

Test & report back.

Yes to 1 and 2 and I tried the 3rd and no luck still it still goes to the travel limit and wont move in any direction. I have tried adjusting the limit to see if it will move with no luck. I have also tried another servo on the same port and it works fine. This leads me to wonder if the servo has gone completely bad. Thus far I have looked into problems with the servo both on RCC and through google and have found nobody else with this problem and only high recommendations for the servo. Anybody that has had this happen please help.

It sounds like you might have killed that servo. What voltage are you running to it through the BEC?

5.1 Volts.

Since you said that you have tried another servo which worked properly, then that probably means the Airtronics one is dead.
