    my nano koralia is not working its plugged in and the propeller is not going, a bunch of crap just came off of it when i touched it, could it be from that, or could there be another reason why its not working?

    This happened to me the other day. Try two things. Plug it in and use something long and skinny, like a pencil, to help start the propller. If that doesn't work, unplug is and take off
    half the casing. Rotate it 180 degrees, put iit back on, plug back in and see if it's working. On my phone sorry for typos!!

    Did you take it apart and clean it? Its simple to do. They are built so crappy. I have 2 number 2's and one number 4 in my 46bow and as they die I will replace them with good ones.

    You could have calcium build up, try giving it a vinegar soaking. That's what I do with mine.
