e-Century Hummingbird - Swift > Hummingbird Mixer (Red Light!)

I cannot get a green light on my hummer. I have the following connections:

1) Power to the mixer/BEC
2) Throttle from mixer to throttle channel on receiver
3) Tail Rotor into gyro and gyro into receiver
4) Two servos controls going into their respective channels

When I plug everything in, the light stays red. If I put my throttle into a certain place, it will blink between red and green (it's somewhere around 1/3 of the way up). There is no position I can put the throttle in that will make it full green.

The connector that was messed up was the throttle connector from the mixer into the receiver. I hooked it back up with a new one and it flew earlier today a little bit, however now I can get no response from the main motor. I'm going to go use a voltmeter to see if the tail/main motors are getting any juice.

Any ideas what the problem could be? I'm guessing bad mixer. If that's the case, what should I replace it w/? Same model (Hummingbird standard) or a Piccoboard or seperates?

Thanks!

Swap the direction on the plug leading to the gyro so the orange cable is facing the other orange cable attached to the gyro.
