Atomstack X70 Pro - Installed Height Adjuster Z Manual Result - Move function is now not ressponding

I have an Atomstack X70 Pro which was working perfectly fine. My only issue was setting the height of the Z axis. Therefore I thought I should install the Atomstack L1 Z manual adjuster. This was completed ok except that Laser kept crashing with frame on homing. OK so I thought I should change the Y axis switch ( such a switch was included with the kit) and move up y axis by 2 cm - as recommended by installation procedures (At this point I was unsure whether it was compatible with my machine) . Changed switch/grid layout dimensions and that was the last time my laser worked properly. Tried to find a solution…but to no avail and therefore I switched everything back to original spec. Unfortunately this did not solve anything and my MOVE screen fails in all functions except ‘Home’.
The following is the most common error msg on my console:

Thanks if you have read so far.

Can you advise

This is usually caused by hitting a limit switch.
Reduce $131 by 20mm and re-Home the machine.
Come back and tell us what does not work.

Is this a Lightburn Issue??
I have today amended ‘Device Settings’ to width 400 & Height 380 as suggested .
Checked $131 but settings have not changed (even after changing and creating a new project). Device settings did show new work area measurements. Therefore I probably need the Gcode command to amend ?? .

I have identified the following G17

G17/ G18/ G18 – G-code Plane Selection (working plane of the machine).

However since I do not have access to format of command settings $131/$130 have remained the same I have not yet tried the '‘Move’" tests.

The only solution now seemed to be to uninstall and reinstall Lightburn.
So…I uninstalled Lightburn sw and re-installed…no change!!
i.e. Move Screen >>Home Button works…all else jam machine.
Laser screen >> Laser will do task(burn/cut) however start points outside user control

One other point…I went bank to Laser GRBL software and ‘move’ worked with no issues … could this be a Lightburn Issue??

Final surprise >> Atomstack support have come back & advised error 3 means a mainboard malfunction??

Not a lightburn issue. And…

Okay, how did you try to change the GRBL parameters? Two choices, in the Console window and using the Machine Settings window. If neither will let you change the GRBL parameters and you see Error 3, then Atomstack is likely right, Kaput controller board.

Ok problem solved.! Spent last month checking every single parameter on system thru Chatgbt I must say!!!:diamond_suit::diamond_suit:
Today I noticed my Speed/distance settings on MOVE screen showed speed at 40 mm per minute!! ( This is purely a lightburn parameter)…set it to a 1000 and wow & behold all back to normal​:diamond_suit::diamond_suit:
