Virtually all servo motors will twich a little when you apply power to them. It sounds like that's what this one is doing. It doesn't mean it is getting a signal though. Please follow the steps in my previous post to diagnose the problem you are having.

Sorry, I'd like to be a little more help but without knowing the answers to the questions I had asked makes it a little difficult in recommending the next steps to take.

What battery are you using? ... is it running flat after 5 minutes?

This is a perfect example to show people what difficulties that they can avoid by investing $4.30 in a ServoChron.
