Does it still work in closed loop mode, ie. the motor resists being turned
manually when the drive is enabled?

I'm guessing it is not resisting movement, as you say "spin the motor by
hand".
Are you sure it is getting power, and is enabled? (Red light off)

You should check that your encoder is getting power, and is producing pulses
on both A and B outputs.

You can always send it back to Gecko for evaluation, especially if it is
a fairly new unit.
