ReplicatorG 0020 fixes burned extruder boards!!!
Well, there's your problem...
Quick, name just one company that care enough about its users that it is willing to create a firmware/software fix to save you from having to buy a new or replacement part.
Drawing a blank? Here’s a hint – their name rhymes with SchmakerBot Industries. The latest version of ReplicatorG, version 0020, provides a way to remap the terminals. If you’ve blown out an H-Bridge1 you don’t have to go through the hassle of finding a new chip, desoldering the old one, resoldering the new one in, and troubleshoot it all. There are probably at least half a dozen 3D printers out there right now with this exact problem keeping them from cranking out all sorts of cool things – their operators wistfully looking at Thingiverse each evening before drifting off to sleep.
Well! Sleep no longer! There is printing to be done! Things to be made! ReplicatorG 0020 is here to rescue you from your unproductive and restful slumber!

too bad you cant fixt burn analog pins, i burnt 2 analog pins on my extruder board and jumpwierd the thermosister pin to pin 6 (instead of 3 then 7), it would have been good to select the pin in the software rather then havng to complie the hole thing, and not being able to download updates from repg!!
