Faulty GT2560- Extruder stopped working

The extruder stop working in print, in manual control with the lcd and by software control.
Try with temperature at 200c. Swap the motors drivers, and motors,everything is ok.
I measure the voltage at motor driver and everything is ok. I reload the firmware and have the same problem. It seems to be a recurrent problem as I can read in the forum.

I swapt the control board with a ramps 1.4 and the extruder is working now.
I notice on my GT2560 board there's a capacitor that had been manualy solder in serie with another capacitor. That capacitor is not on the original pic of the board on your website.
Is that capacitor for correcting a problem of design of the board ?
Who should I contact for a replacement part ?

Thanks

Hi, that capacitor is necessary, but we've improved the board.
Is the extruder motor moving without filament?

It moves now with the ramps 1.4 board. I did all the tests for 2 days and swapping boards was the last option and it confirm the the gt2560 was faulty.
