2. The interface of x-axis motor have bad connection


The interface is located inside the upper right hand door panel, like below.

If yes, go next please.

2. Unplug the interface and check if it has turned black. like below.


If yes, please contact us to replace the interface. 

  

Please power off the machine when checking the connector.



3.  Motor or driver of x-axis is broken

X-axis driver is located inside the lower right hand door panel, like below.


When the X-axis cannot move, the red light of X-axis driver should be on and flashing, please record the flashing frequency(we need to know it when you contact us) 


Solution:

1. Please power off the machine , then swap the X/Y axis drivers according to the video below.



 

2. After that, power on the machine, check if the machine is resetting normally.

If x-axis still not moving at all, so the x-axis motor is broken;

If the problem shifts to y-axis, the same driver is flashing red light, so this driver is broken.
