So i recently started up my ender 5 plus and when I went to extrude the motor wouldn't turn, I tried replacing the wires, trying a different motor but it seems as though it may be the main board, has anyone had these problems before?

Did you heat the nozzle first?
silver juniper
Yes, I heated it to 215, and when I start a print the motor doesn't move
wild osprey
Switching motors doesn’t help. Have you switched motor cables to see?
silver juniper
Yes I've replaced the cables to it already
wild osprey
then your stepper driver on your board is dead
silver juniper
So I should replace the board to a silent one then?
wild osprey
if what you have done hasnt worked yes
silver juniper
Okay, thank you! I truly appreciate it, and also my ender 3 pro, when I go to prepare and move axis, none of the axis's move, same thing?
wild osprey
possible... but man if you keep firing stepper drivers you might have other issues
silver juniper
Well my ender 3 pro has been like that a long time I've had it for many years and it's been a work horse
wild osprey
still.. none of the axis move... thats odd
you have a firmware you accidentally load on it on your sd card
silver juniper
Yeah, I agree, so I'll re-download the firmware and check it

worth a shot to do for your 5 too
