Just over night the board stopped working, but it already has everything I need soldered on to it. I tested the USB connection with a second·proto board·and it works fine, but not the board that I need. If I have to I'll change the board to make it work with a prop plug, but I'd rather try something else first.

but you would have to remove the FT232 off the board because it may be affecting P30 and P31, (continually holding the pins high or low).
You could also lift P30 and 31 out of the socket and solder·wires to them to connect to the MAX3232 port without removing the FT232.
But the FT232 being damaged may cause power problems on the board, (shorts and what not), so the are no gurantees.

Could you explain that?
The Propstick already has a USB connection. The only reason to remove the FT232, is that it might be creating a short somewhere and dragging you supply voltage down.
Do pull the Propeller chip out if you use the ProStick, just to be safe.
EDIT: meant the prop plug--oops
