I have an Amazon e-pump that “died” after 5 months. I’m good about not over-charging it or running it to zero.
On a whim I took it apart but found nothing obvious. I was about to toss it when I decided to plug a wall charger into the port that the pump uses if you want it to run off of your 12V car battery.
Everything came to life again. The screen, formally black, all pumps worked and battery showed a full charge.
I disconnected it and it now runs off of the battery again.
Coincidence? Luck? Who knows?

It sounds like a loose connection, or a wire broken inside the insulation. When you took it apart you likely jiggled it back into position. The way to fix it if it happens again is to take it apart and try very gently pressuring the wires and see if the problem wire is the issue. The other possibility is that the circuit board is cracked or has a connection issue.
What I would do is to contact the seller and see if they'll replace it. |

I too have the Amazon e-pump that looks like the Slingshot labeled product. I also recommended it to my friends. I want to inform my friends of your experience & trouble shooting story.

| ToPump, though I think they are all the same if they are the square style. I wrote the manufacturer an email and they refunded the purchase price. |
