IS D1 installed on the Ramps board is it in correctly and is it ok D1 provides the voltage to the Arduino from the Ramps supply

Other than that it may well be the Voltage Regulator on the arduino they are known to be fragile.

It´s just a guts feeling, but you might have screwed up the mega-board, when you unsoldered the barrel connector. sad smiley

Check the area around the barrel for missing or misaligned SMD components.
