X axis not moving

[Bassna]

Hello everyone, been very busy the past few months and have not had a chance to getting around and fixing my FF. I am not getting any movement on the X axis. I have spare motors, but have never swapped one of these before. Just wondering if someone has some tips, or a guide on how to remove them and replace. Hoping is the motor at least. Could be something else? Thanks

most likely a loose or bad wire.
Given the vibration, not surprising if the odd connector works loose.

Check connections on motherboard and motor before changing motor. You got a multimeter to check there's not a break in a wire ?

I will check out the wiring when I get a chance. Just had my baby finally, been a hectic week+ :P

Was kind of hoping it was the motor, I have replacements of those :P

Ya the rule of thumb is it is almost never the motor. lol
