Hi, I have had my printer working successfully for a couple weeks now, but I just screwed up. My thermistor to the hotend has been a little sketchy from the very beginning and the connector seemed to have some small defects making it difficult to attach to the T0 pins on my RAMPS 1.4. A few days ago after unplugging it for maintenance, I couldn't get it plugged back in. So after a little force and the power and my laptop connected(I know, dumb idea) I managed to bend the pins. When they bent, a wisp of smoke went up from the board(near the D10, D9, D8 connections) and my laptop turned off and hasn't come back on since. So my question is what burned out on the board and what needs to be replaced? I'm not heartbroken about the laptop because it was my backup, but I don't want to test it out again on my Macbook. What can I do to test the RAMPS? Is it possible it was either the shield or just the Arduino that fried and not both? Could my actual printer be damaged from this? Thanks in advance and please let me know if there is more information I can provide.
