X axis not moving, only jittering. Motor checks out on other machine. Please help!
- X axis moves freely by hand with no obstructions. Tried to reload firmware 3.14.1 with no improvement. X axis vibrates when trying to home, but doesn't move much. I swapped X And y plugs on einsy board and X then moves appropriately using y driver slot. Is my board bad? Or is there another possible issue? Tyia!

Could be a dry joint or faulty connector, was it still faulty when you switched the Motor wires back?
might be worth reloading the firmware just in case...

RE:
The spot where the cable goes into the stepper is prone to bending. If a cable breaks there it is not easy to repair without disassembling the stepper. When I got my MK3S years ago I immediately added this x-axis cable strain relief. You can find plenty by searching printables for MK3 strain relief.
