500X400 60W Chinese laser. The head won't move when I turn the machine on. I get a single beep and then nothing. I can't move it from panel or Lightburn. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you move the head with the machine off (using your hands)? Or is it jammed up for some reason?
Do the stepper motors make any noise when you turn the machine on?
Are the limit switches lit up?
