If anyone has any insight or experience with this company and these boards the knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

"Seeing as how the other motors appear to work, I would wager that the issue is one of the stepper chips. If you'd like, we can see about selling you one, so that you might swap it out. Otherwise, there are a large number of suppliers of similar stepper chips.

I hope this helps."

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
