The right extruder (T1) has an issue with the 12v supply on the board.  Nothing I have tried seems to revive it.  It's definitely a board issue.

Anyway, my question is this.  Can I swap some cables on the board to at least get one extruder working?  I'm thinking if the right extruder is still in good condition as far as no clogs, the drive gears, thermistor, etc., I just need to get some power to it.  Can I swap both 12v heater connections as well as the cables that control the extruder motors?  See attached image.

Would that theoretically get me up and running?  I would still be printing to T0 but T1 would actually be doing the work.  Aside from the offset being wrong, it should work, no?
