The fact, that your Hydra head goes up and then starts moving slowly, means that it didn't find the limit. Since there are no mechanical obstructions and you swapped all the boards, the things to look at are cabling. Double check the ribbon cables fo

Dude, Scope the big ribbon cables on either side of the X-axis for cracks. They usually break where the clamp holds them on the X wagon. Also, all of your X camera stuff goes through the XWB board.Try swapping it if you have another. I am not sure
