That means motors are OK, it must be the connector on board or the driver IC.

One-direction slewing at only high speed may indicate one of the coils are not energized properly or at all..
I think it is time for a better and deeper look at this.. do you have any specialized electronics equipment, like oscilloscope ?
To replace this chip, specialized equipment is needed, I cant do it (it has a large cooling pad).

However, what can be done is to add this and bypass the faulty IC.. again, it requires steady hand and microscope.


On the attachment, RA driver U1 is a prime suspect, data sheet is on the website
