Default Can't see CC BEC with computer

So I was able to program my BEC fine the other day. I set it to 7.4v saved the changes and went on my way. I tried to access it last night and Castle Link can't see it. I tried two different Castle Link plugs and USB cords. I can see my MMP fine with both. I did test my voltage at the bec and it's putting out 7.3v but I am getting some steering servo stall that happens as as the pack starts to discharge. Time for a new BEC?

No I still have control and it only stalls with rapid steering right to left. I've tried every combination I could to hook up the BEC.

When the computer USB port cannot supply enough voltage for the Castle Link to function properly, you may need to hook it up to a battery for a power supply.

I just plug a battery in, even before I know if I need it. Then plug in the Link. Only time it hasn't worked was with a failed Castle link. Cable was good but the board was dead.
