[I opened up Mach3 and kept getting the error message “CTftp:: WakeUpClient Board does not reply, Select YES to retry No to config
Cancel to quit.” It looks like it happened early 20’ to and might need a replacement stepper.]

Sorry for your trouble. Did it happen at startup or after the machine had been running for a bit? For the former, that’s often an issue with a device in the red control box that is always powered, and does not shut off on power down. The solution is to power cycle the whole box by unplugging the 120V power cord (currently going into a yellow extension cord).
If only a computer restart fixed it, it might be something else.
We will be rebuilding the control box and changing out the computer on that machine before too long.
