Giving a bit more info might be useful if you want sensible answers! Like what exactly is not working (e.g. do drivers power up? do motors hum?), what hardware and software you are using, wiring diagram, maybe a picture of the set-up. What you have already tried to fix it. Don't honestly see how anyone can help otherwise.

when x and z axis enabled can you turn the motors/move the axis by hand? if not then motors are powered so problem is likely to be wiring bob -> drivers (unless integrated board, what bob/drivers do you have?)
if you can move it, problem is likely to be driver or motor wiring related. try x and z axis on y driver, do they move now? try y motor on x or z axis, does it move?
