The issue is that on this machine is that all systems that run on 12 volts will have 12 volts at them at all times if the machine is switched on. The logic switches the grounds for those systems off and on to control them.  So if you are working on the hotend and cause one of the 12 volt lines to contact a frame ground or other ground it will blow the zero ohm resistors used as fuses on the mainboard near the 12 volt power input.

Measuring directly off the PS, all 3 12v rails the 3.3 and 5v all test with correct voltage (+/- 0.1 v).  If I measure between the pins of either heater and power supply's housing as ground I get 12v on either pin but 0v across the pins.

Measuring between the 12v GND and the output of one of the stepper controller yields 12v as does VM and GND.  Also the 3.3 and 5v are getting to the stepper controllers yet the steppers are not "locked" as if they are "on".  If I had a way to wire up a standard Arduino to the stepper controller I could check the motors/controllers without the "assistance" of the main board.  Issuing M114 returns "NAN" for all 4 motors.

I also tried wiping the firmware and reloading the build from LUC's reprap as it picked up a Z offset somewhere in it's little mined, again when it was off and turned on.
