    I was cutting the plastic plate to mount the controller board. I got through the first vent and the y axis quit.
    I get no lights when I try to move the axis. I have the vapor v3 board and the nema 23 high torque motors.

    I am having a similar issue. During motion one of the y axis motors deactivates and the light turns off.

    Are the motors getting too hot?

    Are the drivers overheating? This would happen with some of the lower amperage drivers if not cooled well. I am not familiar with the vapor board.

    My controller board is the CNC xPro v3 board. I bought it with my cbeam bundle.

    You don't have to replace the board but you'll have to solder some wires or headers to the board.
