I tried to reply last night but the site was down as it has been a lot recently ;(
Anyway, what I wanted to ask is when you disable ( via jumper/dipswitch) the need for the Gecko to use the chargepump does your B axis work?
If it does then it is likely that your port is not in the correct mode for the Gecko and the chargepump. I seem to recall it needs to be in EPP. Some ports you can change in the device manager, some you can change with jumpers and some you cant change.
