Troubleshooting non responsive machine- Mach3/Syil x4

[Doddy]

As I read it, the PC replacement was after the machine was moved and failed. There's a chance something was damaged, disconnected or shorted during the move. Right now with the images I'm not convinced this isn't a FrankenSyil machine.

OP: Are you the first owner of this?

Not, I bought it second hand.

Also I just read the thread that was linked above and seems it’s not a simple task to replace the bob, they don’t make the one I have anymore ?

Sorry, I know more questions than answers. That board that presents the connector similar to the ESTOP connector - there's three wires - L, N and FG wired up. Is there ANYTHING else wired to that board?

This is really looking like a FrankenSyil machine. That board ("Main Board") is the primary supplies for the rest of the "normal" X4 as well as the 3-phase controller for the brushless spindle motor. None of that appears to be wired. If that's the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing but might help us understand how much of the standard Syil configuration can be ignored. Right now I'm half convinced you can lose that board.

The bob is powered from it - the red wire coming from it goes to the ‘com’ pin on bob.

I recall the guy I bought it from saying he installed a different spindle in it if that’s useful info
