Hello i have problem with my A4988. You can see in video: [drive.google.com]

This driver not work but others drivers are working. When I moved this A4988 on the other pins, still does not work. I tried to set different values in potentiometer and still no reaction. What can be the reason?

If that driver doesnt work in the other known working driver slots then its broken.
It could be you had a faulty driver board or you could have accidentally unplugged the motor or shorted some pins.
They are fairly fragile and unforgiving.

You will need a replacement.
I keep a couple of spares just in case.
This is one part of the electronics that you need to spend a little more money on as the cheap ones dont last as long as the better quality ones.
