Extrusion Motors won't extrude with touchscreen

in Hardware Components

My extrusion motors stopped rotating after I stopped a print mid-way. I am no longer able to make them spin using the touchscreen.

First thing I tried was re-uploading the firmware. Didn't fix it.

Next, I tried re-uploading the touchscreen firmware. Didn't fix it.

I also used Pronterface to manually heat and extrude. This did work! Why is Pronterface able to make my extrusion motors work, but the touchscreen can't anymore? I double checked all the wiring to make sure nothing came unplugged. My best guess is something is wrong my ribbon cable that is connecting the touchscreen to the main board as that is what sends the commands (and using pronterface uses the USB plug which connects to a different spot on the board)


EDIT: It has fixed itself somehow. Not sure if using the filament > load feature fixed it versus just using the Extrusion > In feature...
