Now, with the printer on and I unplug/plug the harness, the motor gives a slight jog ... assuming this is due to receiving power.  When I load the filament, the motor gives no response at all.  When I cancel the load process, the control panel displays 'Action canceled!' and then just sits there forever ... essentially locking up.  At this point the printer is unresponsive and I'm forced to turn it off.

Any help would be very welcome.
