I "magic smoked" one (by plugging power into the outputs w/offset connector) and a reprogram later it was fine. The regulators blow and the programs go, but the rest of the board is surprisingly resilient. No matter how many time we break em (~5 times if I had to guess) they seem to come back, so they probably can be fixed with a new regulator or reprogram. Is your regulator suppling +5v?
