So I was working along all fine and dandy on my WD-1. Ran my first run with my first tool. Everything was going great. I switched out to my next tool and guess what I forgot to do? I forgot to set my z-axis 0 with the new tool. I'm doing a drill operation and it starts really low. It drilled a long line into the wood when it was moving into position. Then while drilling down it triggered an e-stop. I took the router off and made sure it's fine, that and the bit are fine. I got the e-stop message to go away by checking "Active Low" in Mach 3 next to EStop. But now the motors won't even start up like before after hitting the Reset button. I tried downloading the xml file and loading it, no luck. When I press the keys on the keyboard the machine coordinates move in the software only. I tried checking all the connections on the board inside and the fuses look fine. I figured since they're not communicating I'd switch out the printer cable on the board with the other one that's not hooked up labeled as 2 but that didn't do it. The software shows a message on the bottom saying something about installation of drivers successful when I load Mach 3. On the Diagnostics page under Port 1 Pins current State the first 3 pins are black and the rest green on the top row and the second row the 4th from the left pin is black and the rest are green. Please tell me I didn't brake it

Sorry can't be of help. But was wondering if you ever tracked down the problem. Would like to know what you found if you did if this ever happened to me or other members.
Thanks George

Usually, setting the Estop to active low is not the way to clear the message. Try setting back to "active high" and reset. Hopefully you have it corrected by now.

There is troubleshooting guide in this same section of the forum that covers this. It sounds as though the main fuse is blown. It's an AGC 10 amp right in the front of the electronics panel. They are available at auto parts stores and Radio Shack.
