I've got the thing assembled, it powers up with no smoke leaks, and all the axes work except the extruder. Found a couple of bent pins in the connection between the AT-Mega and Ramps board, but correcting that still doesn't help.
For the sake of others, I'm hoping my experience is atypical.
2 things... Software won't let you run the extruder motor unless the hot end ... is hot. and 2nd, even if you have turned on the hot end - and it is truly hot - if the thermistor is not working then the software will still think it's cold and not let you turn on the extruder motor.
