I think it will depend on where you source the replacement 2560 from... I don't think the chip comes with a bootloader from ATMEL. So places like Digikey and Mouser probably sell it blank. You would need a programmer.
I think you have a couple options:
Get a programmer and burn the BL yourself.
Use another Arduino as a programmer and burn it yourself.
Or buy a arduino mega 2560 r3 clone for as cheap as possible ensuring that the package type of the 2560 is the same as the one used on the motherboard and then desolder it and transfer it to your motherboard.
Often getting started is the most difficult part of any process. A good start sets you up for success and saves you time and energy that could be spent elsewhere. That is why we have a onboarding course ready for
Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle, Ultimaker S5, Ultimaker S3 Ultimaker 2+ Connect.
They're ready for you on the Ultimaker Academy platform. All you need to do to gain access is to register your product to gain free access.
Ready? Register your product here in just 60 seconds.
