Like I said, everything is free and moves easily when the unit is powered off. So is the only other thing that could be bad is the motor?

It's the Y axis motor and I switched the plugs at the board to make sure it wasn't the driver. Turns out it is the motor. Here is a video I shot of what it does. It actually done this when I first bought it but randomly started working again and didn't have it come back until now. Also when the machine is powered down the motor spins freely.
