I think that there is a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue with your CNC machine:

1. Check the Homing Settings: Go into Mach3 and check your homing settings for the X, Y, and Z axes. Make sure they are correctly configured. Sometimes a power outage can reset or alter these settings.

2. Verify Motor Outputs: Ensure that the motor outputs for X and Y axes are correctly assigned. Go to `Config` -> `Ports and Pins` -> `Motor Outputs` and confirm that the X and Y motors are enabled and assigned to the correct pins.

3. Check Limit Switches: Ensure that your limit switches are functioning correctly. A malfunctioning or triggered limit switch can prevent movement on the X and Y axes.

4. Recalibrate the Machine: Try recalibrating your machine. Manually move the X and Y axes to their home positions and then reset the home position in Mach3. You can do this by using the `Ref All Home` button.

5. Review the G-code: Double-check the G-code that is being used. Ensure there are no commands that would restrict movement of the X and Y axes.

6. Check for Software Issues: Sometimes, simply reinstalling or updating Mach3 can resolve unexplained issues. Ensure you have the latest version installed.

7. Inspect Wiring and Connections: After a power outage, it’s possible that some wiring connections could have been affected. Inspect all connections to ensure they are secure.

8. Run a Diagnostic: Mach3 has a diagnostics screen (`Diagnostics` tab) which can help identify issues. Look for any errors or warnings that might indicate where the problem is.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be worth reaching out to Mach3 support or checking with other users who may have experienced similar issues. Good luck!
