Like others, I have ohmed out all connections and solder joints and checked for shorts. All seems fine. When I remove the processor and place the right voltages on the LED control pins, the LEDs light up fine. All voltages to the ATMEL seem fine as well. I see no oscillations with an o-scope on the resonator. No lights, no activity whatsoever and low level on the resonator inputs when ATMEGA in place.
Would like a replacement processor ASAP if possible, my son is leaving soon and this is "our holiday project". :-(
I'm including pictures of the board. we messed with it so much the power supply broke off, so we are connecting directly to the edge connector vbat and ground connections.

Can we program the device ourselves? If so, are there instructions?

Let's just send you a replacement ATMEGA chip. I'll let support know this and you can also link to this thread when you email them again at [email protected].
