ATMEGA blew up

[Roberts_Clif]

Trouble shooting is sometimes a long an tedious task, I have blown two Arduino Mega 2560 compatible controllers on my all in one controllers boards.
Being an electrician tried to replace the blown components and still they do not function I believe that the main controller Arduino Mega 2560 chip has dead pins.

I digress, the solution is that sometimes the controller and driver board cost less than your time troubleshooting and the parts you repair the dead board.
As I too replaced my controllers with newer controllers the original had became obsolete, and purchased a backup replacement a Ramps 1.6 and Arduino Mega 2560.
