Z axis homes but doesn't move otherwise

I've been going mad trying to figure out why it is exhibiting this behaviour.

The z axis homes but when I try to get it to move using the arrows around the target in Pronterface it doesn't move at all. Sometimes it gives a bit of a jerk but doesn't actually move.

I have a Prusa Mendel i2 and I'm using RAMPS 1.4 with stepstick drivers. I'm using Slic3r and Pronterface to operate the printer. The Load Voltage to the driver is 12.34 V and the logic supply voltage is 4.97 V. The current is within the recommended range.

I tried to see if it is the driver issue by using other drivers but the same problem occurs. When I connect the z axis motors to the y axis driver they work as they should.
All the other drivers and motors are working perfectly.

I'm at the end of my tether. Anyone have any ideas?

Check your endstops (M119 command) if your max endstop is defined and active then you can't move towards it likewise with the Min endstops you may have to invert one or more of them.

M119 command returns this:

>>M119
SENDING:M119
x_min:L y_min:L z_min:H z_max:H

To invert the max endstop do I have to change it in configuration.h? Which lines should i bee looking at?

Which Firmware are you using I'll assume for now it is MARLIN in which case you need to look for something like in the attached snippet.

Sorry about the late reply. my laptop died

I'm using Sprinter firmware.

check you feed rates, the default feed rate in most software is far to fast for the hardware

try a "g1 z10 f120" move z to 10 at 2mm/sec (120mm/min)

If that works... its your feed rates.. update your max feed rates in your firmware/eeprom with lower numbers, so that gcode can't exceed it.

i found the error and fixed it. Thank you for helping me!

The error was in the sprinter setting I played around with. Apparently I played around with them too much
