Well, you're "one up" on me...  I would NEVER undertake to do a board
level repair on a fire alarm system...  But then, I run a service
company that has obligations that go beyond "fat fingering" a part of a
life safety system whereas you... manage servers...  Gee...  If my
server goes "down", it means I can't get emails...  Oh bliss!!!  :-)

"Programmer board"???  Where'd you get that notion??  And all the
installer manual will tell you at this point is that you can't enter
programming mode while the system is armed.  There is no "east tunnel"
and there is no "back door" into your system.  What part of "hooped"
don't you understand, "Mr. Network Engineer"??

You're back to "square one".  You have to replace the common control
board (easy for a Network Engineer that manages 150 servers), and then
program your system "from scratch"...  I won't say that'll be "easy" as
you're having difficulty understanding the concept of being "hooped"...
  but I can hope!  :-)
