Unplugged my filter to move it and now when I plug it back in, nothing happens.

Ideas on how to fix it? I'm a little desperate. It's been off an hour now. I have a bubbler running, but that's it.

HELP!
 
How do I check the impeller? This is it? It's not making any noise at all. What do you mean by priming? I basically put it on and filled it up them plugged it in.

The impeller sits inside the pump of the filter.

These old pics may explain what it looks like
