Small jerky movements on X axis

Hi guys! Newbie here! Light burn and engravers have been a struggle so far. I’m currently having an issue with the laser not wanting to move on the X axis. When I use the move controls it will move on the Y and very small jerky movements on the X but just one time before it says “busy” until I hit stop. When I go to try and engrave something, the laser fires and burns but will not move at all on either axis. When move the laser by hand, it is very smooth and doesn’t feel like it’s getting caught on anything or too tight. I’ve checked cables are plugged in correctly probably a 100 times and reset it 200 times. I’ve watched every video I could find and nothing addresses this besides saying it’s caught on something when it’s not.

I don’t know what setting would need to be shown, but let me know and I’ll post.

Also having issues with the laser running into the frame and not stopping when homing.

You might consider that there is an intermittent (broken wire) to the Xaxis motor. Try polling on the wiring a little bit when it is moving and see what happens.
