Ok I see I was going on the cheap drives in the picture but your correct they can be got cheaper from asia. Also I can tell you it won't have broke thru incorrect motor tuning and at worst you would just stall the motors which won't hurt them. In correctly wired yes tuning No.

Often the drives will give some indication thru flashing fault lights. If it just died then it could be due to Voltage spikes or maybe poor or loose motor wires, often the drives will have an internal fuse you can change. Or could have just been a Friday afternoon job when built.??
