i swapped the Y axis cable that goes to the board with the X axis now the X axis work and the Y dosen’ work

Your x-axis end-stop is triggered. You can verify this by sending “M119” gcode. It will report back the status of your end-stops. If this is the case, the end-stop itself is faulty or the wiring is wrong/faulty(most likely).

If you are sure it’s the stepper driver than you will need to replace it and monitor the heat on the new one. It may have overheated which means you need to drop the voltage and/or add some cooling/heat sinks. Also, I consider just about every part of my machines “consumables” and have spare EVERYTHING for when this stuff happens. Not only does it allow you to get back up and running quickly but you can troubleshoot much easier by swapping parts till you find the problem.
