@OrturTech, could this be failed limit switch?

LightBurn only sends the command - the machine itself is what performs the homing operation, so the timing is a coincidence. You likely have a loose cable, broken wire, bent limit switch, or something along those lines.

Also, check the switches to make sure they’re being contacted properly. I’ve seen at least two cases where a user added a drag chain or something else to help manage the wires and had it catch on the gantry, preventing the laser from getting to the home switch.

With your description and Alarm 9  
I suspect your power supply is not fully engaged or plugged in  
The motherboard will power up by USB only.  
Please recheck power supply connection
