my X axis randomly stopped working after i had a filament change while printing, M122 reads out the following,

Recv: Testing X connection... Error: All LOW
Recv: Testing Y connection... OK
Recv: Testing Z connection... OK
Recv: Testing E connection... OK

Now mind you I hadn't touched this axis and it just randomly happened, printer was working fine before, not sure if the driver just died or what and frankly id really rather not go thru the hassle of flashing a firmware again. any ideas?
should note this is an ender 3 with a skr mini e3 v1.2

It sounds like there may be a connection issue with the X-axis stepper motor or its wiring. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

  1. Check the wiring connections: Make sure the X-axis stepper motor wires are securely connected to the stepper driver on the SKR Mini E3 v1.2 board. Also, check for any visible damage to the wires.

  2. Swap stepper drivers: If you suspect the driver may be the issue, try swapping the X-axis stepper driver with another axis driver to see if the problem follows the driver.

  3. Test the stepper motor: You can test the X-axis stepper motor by swapping it with another motor and testing if it moves properly on a different axis.

  4. Check for firmware issues: Although you prefer not to flash firmware again, updating or re-flashing the firmware could potentially resolve any software-related issues causing the X-axis problem.

If none of these steps solve the issue, you may need to further investigate the specific cause of the X-axis prob...
