Will not HOME version 0.9.20

Using ORTUR 2 laser.
Just loaded version 0.9.20 and it will not HOME. In fact it doesn’t move the laser at all.
Had no problems with version 0.9.19 would like to go back to it, but not sure how.
Any help, PLEASE. Below is from the Console on LIghtburn.

@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.
