And pulling or inserting the ADB with the machine on is considered just TOO risky.
I've got half a dozen motherboards here, all unbootable because of ADB burns.
Depends on what's burnt out. I've never found a good source of replacement chips for them (and I've no dealio with Apple)... Mostly I just store 'em for a while. Use 'em for parts testing etc.
I wouldn't just throw 'em out. There's bound to be a parts or refirb shop willing to take 'em off your hands for some cash or store credit...
