I did a few basic carvings over the weekend. I went to stop one, opened the window and the truck kept going. Something messed up, while it kept going I was diving for the power plug and heard a snap. The bit got stuck and broke. ONLY the bit broke. I was able to get it out of the chuck, there were no other broken parts. when i started it up today, during the first homing when the chuck goes up and down, side to side, I could hear a humming, then no movement. It them started to measure the board, but kept coming up with "Z truck error". Once again no parts were broken off or anything. I have the lid off of it now and did some spot cleaning looking for parts just in case. Nothing seems to be loose so far. Any ideas? Or links?

yup it turns free, only manually. the truck wont go up and down at all. Mainly at the homing stage.
