Motor has had its days then. Have you tried with a second receiver?

how long should a motor last?Comment

When you say you reset the motor on the ladder, do you mean you used a paper clip etc. to stick in the wee reset hole on the motor? Does your motor have a light on the bottom? it is usually green if all is ok.
I suppose you could try using a brand new image on your box, not a backup just to rule that out. Although it's doubtful but worth considering.
Have you double checked your lon/lat on the receiver to ensure that it didn't have a hissy fit and get corrupted too?Comment
