So I dropped a heat sink onto the stepper driver. The event caused the board and my laptop to shutdown. Now the stepper driver isn't working along with two others on the board. I'm using the megatronics 2.0 and Pololu A4988 drivers from sainsmart.
To be specific, I dropped the heat sink that came with the drivers onto the E0 driver. After I recovered from the shutdown, X and Z axis would not respond. I've replaced the two axis drivers with spares that I have, but I don't get how I could have blown up three drivers by dropping a heat sink. Any ideas as to what happened?
