Thanks for the suggestions. I installed Pronterface and tried. It said to reset using M999. I did that and it seems to have solved the problem. whew!

So i switched the jigsaw for Lawsy's Mk5. Plug everything back in and the RH arrows won't move the extruder in X or Y. Home buttons work fine.

I found a post somewhere that said if the thermistor is damaged then RH automatically blocks all motors from working. http://www.soliforum.com/topic/2081/ste … nual-mode/

I took it out and tested with an OHM meter and it all seems to be working. RH gives a extruder temperature reading when I plug it back in. It even changes as I put my finger on the thermistor end...so this proves that the thermistor is connected and working correctly.

So now I'm stuck. Not sure why the head isn't moving?
