Jaguar Failure

After driving our test bot for a while today, the left motor suddenly stopped going forward. In both tank and arcade drive the motor would not spin. The status light on the Jag turns green/red showing that it is receiving input from the PWM, but voltage is never delivered to the motor going forward. We replaced the Jag and the new one works both directions. Any ideas on whether the bad Jag is fixable, or are we down one Jag?

Thanks
Paul
