Mesa 7I76EU TB2 not working right (TB3 works fine) – need help diagnosing

Can you make a new very simple config and test again?

I tried on a Raspberry Pi 4 with image "image_2026-01-21-raspios-lcnc-2.9.8-trixie-arm64"
and on a Laptop with image "linuxcnc_2.9.8-amd64.hybrid"
and unfortunately i get the same results on both, with the simplest configs i can do, even in the test/tune tab in pnc wizard it acts the same way, Sorry guys i may be missing something really basic here, do you think it might be the firmware?

config name "GG" made on the laptop

Files attached

The hal and ini file look sane so I would guess its some kind of hardware issue.
 So the card should be returned for evaluation
 

You think it's worth it to give it another shot with flashing another firmware before returning it or do you advice against that?

Unless you changed the firmware, I doubt that that's the issue.
 (all cards are tested and shipped with standard firmware)

Update:

MESA Replied:“OK, examined the cardU15 (STEP+/DIR+ 0..3 driver) and RN31 (27 Ohm resistor networkin series with STEPO+/DIRO+ and STEPO-/DIRO- pins) were both damaged.RN31 had opens on the STEPO+ and DIRO+ pins.Damage was likely caused by connection of theSTEPO+,DIRO+ pinsto either something outside the 0 to +5V range (even briefly) ora long time short of the STEPO+,DIRO+ pins to 5V or ground.”

Im pretty confident that i did not cause this damage, all the wiring Ive done on tb2 was also done on tb3 to a standard tb6600 stepper driver
What do you guys think i should do?
