Is my pololu dead?

Is my pololu dead?
October 05, 2011 09:00PM
I was printing and things were all well and good, and then my X axis just stopped moving. I stopped the print and shut everything off...checked the cabling and everything looked normal, started everything up again to check and same issue. Shut everything off and swapped 2 of them to see if it was the motor or whatnot, motors are all fine, seems the driver is at fault.

Any suggestions or quick fixes? It physically looks fine, no visible damage anyhow. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Kelly

Did you also switch the suspect driver out to another axis, or just switch a good driver in?

Thanks Anthong. I had no faith in your suggestion, but for good measure I went over all the pins with a soldering iron anyway... and it fixed it! I'm back up and running. Thanks so much!!
