Yes, what he's talking about doing makes no sense at all. Hopefully he'll elaborate on the "why".

I am using a DB25 interface for my stepper motor outputs. While using this are the enable outputs on H2 and H3 still active to use? If so are the active high or low for enabled? Please tell us what stepper drive you are using, most stepper drives are enabled by default and the ENA connection is not...

Please post a CURRENT report from the machine. Anytime you have issues AND you have made machine changes you must post a new report so we can see your current settings. We can see how the machine is setup and look at your error log as to what the issue might be.

Sorry ShawnM, I guess my original post wasn't completely clear. It did get to the point were I was unable to reconnect.

Yeah, what Keith said.

You may or may not need the enable lines wired up but you wont know until you wire up the step and direction lines and power up the drive with the motor connected to see if the stepper motor locks. All this information...

This behavior can still be a loose connection on the X axis and not necessarily a bad board. And since this is a mill I presume is there any chance that some fine, metal shavings got in the enclosure? Blow off the boards with some air when they are powered down. I dont use the C86 boards as they are...
