I tried loading the marlin firmware onto the board with your ide, no change regarding the "7 commands" issue in Repetier.

I found the problem, repetier reset the baud rate. That said, I tested the motors again, the z axis motors still do not move.

I'm sorry if this wasn't clear. changing the firmware did not work. the z axis motors still do not move.
Is there anything else that can be done, or is this a confirmed hardware problem?
If it is a hardware problem, then how does Geeetech go through the replacement process?

the STP and GND was very low, .025 volts
the RET and GND was almost normal 1.25~ volts

I upload the stepper firmware in this post.
you only need to connect 12V power supply and the axis motor.
you test the voltage between the pins again.
waiting your reply.Best regards.

if the z axis motors still do not move.
The good news is I think we found the reason, maybe the chip 4982ET damage.
Also I'm sorry, we can't help you to replace the chip, May require you to replace the chip by yourself.
hope to be solve this problem, waiting your reply.
Best regards.

I'm sorry, but the z motors on the board are not moving.
The z motors on the board never moved. I had this problem from the beginning, the board came broken.
Is it possible to get a replacement to the board, since it came broken?
