JAGUAR PROBLEMS!!!

Today, i was successfully able to drive our robot for the first time. Our only problems were that the right and left were inverted(fixed now), and when we went full throttle, it would turn to a side. We believe this is because we forgot to calibrate the jaguars. After fixing some vi stuff, we went to run the robot again. This time, 2 of 4 jaguars were not working. One of which we confirmed dead while the other we got to work again. After this, we put all the jaguars back on and calibrated them again. All the jaguars worked, except for one. This one would be a solid yellow stating neutral, but once we moved the joystick, problems arose. When the joystick is moved in either direction, the jaguar shows a red light and the wheels don't spin. We reset the jaguar and calibrated again, but no success.

One of our mentors thought the code was the problem, but i am pretty sure not because it is basically the default labview code with one extra motor for an arm and minibot deployment. Also, it is in arcade drive, thus the motors work together.
I am thinking it is the jaguar and it just needs to be replaced.

Any solutions?

Thanks
