hi
i plugged 12 v dc source to my spartan 3a starter kit , what i saw that the LP3906 voltage regulator has burned so I'll try to fix it,Are there other thing to do to fix the board, if any one faced this kind of problems please replay as soon as possible
Thanks in advance
 

the FPGA is dead i guess.

few years back when probing signal, my connector touched one pin on a Spartan-2, and spark! It's gone.

I guess FPGAs are very volatile.

I did the same thing once, replaced a couple of capacitors and it was fine. In my experiance with blowing up regulators, the circuitry they are feeding has usually survived. I may have just been lucky though.
Replace the regs, and caps if necessary - it'll either work or it wont. But it'll only cosy a couple of pounds to find out.
 

check the power first make sure all the voltages are correct, then try to programm the board
