1HV owner haveing problem with servos, help requested

I finally figured out what the problem is. I unplugged the shoulder servos and tried the robot without the shoulder servos and it worked fine. So then I tried it with one shoulder at a time and whenever I hooked up the left shoulder everything went haywire. So I took a closer look at the servo and I could hear something rattling inside it. So I took it apart and there was a raw piece of solder floating around in the servo. So I took it out and all the servos are fine now.
And as for the software issues I tried it on my desktop and everything worked fine. It seems the adapter or something has some issues with Toshiba laptops. So I updated all the usb drivers and reinstalled the software on my laptop. Its still very buggy on my laptop but I am able to run it on my laptop now. So everything is working good now

Ok, I have solved all the problems except why I can only get 1/2 the rotation from the shoulder servos. There must be some software setting or something in the memory of the robot not letting the servo do its full rotation. I cant create my start position until I solve this problem and with no start position I cant run any motions. Anyone have any Idea how to get the software to see that the servo can move farther?

Someone please help.

I am havening a problem getting the full range of motion out of the 2 shoulder servos. Also when I move the slider on the gui sometimes a couple of the other servos will move randomly. Any help would be aperciated?
