Re: Z-axis motor fail?
I tried connecting the motor using Dupont cable which I had and the motor vibrates but the shaft does not turn (the other Z-axis motor responds normally). It seems that the motor may be dead as well.

Re: Z-axis motor fail?
I tried the tests you suggested. When the motor is plugged into the X-axis cable it seems to perform correctly, but when the cable is plugged into the X-axis motor, the X-carriage does not move.

Now the extruder carriage moves left to the X-axis end stop when the Home command is given (using Repetier Host). However, once the X-axis is hom...
