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.
