In all cases for us that the "analog pins stopped working" it was the case that there was an unintentional short between power and ground on the I/O pins. (We've had an embarrassing number of these occurrences over the past four years!) An important thing to note is that the short doesn't need to be on the analog pins! We had a problem this year where a short on some unused digital I/O pins made itself apparent only because the "analog pins stopped working."
