Accidentally forgot to replace the print bed and printed on the hotbed, now middle of surface isn't heating

Hi, y'all. Just made a really stupid mistake earlier and I printed the start of a print for about 10 minutes straight on the hotbed as I had just taken off the print sheet to break off a piece, and now as I tried to restart the print with the steel sheet on it, it's resulted in the hotbed only heating in the corners and edges, but it's unable to heat on the places where it was printed. Is there anything I can do about this or can I order a replacement hotbed? Thanks for the help, y'all.

I'd get in touch with support. Printing on the heated bed will result in poor quality, but I wouldn't expect it to kill the heating elements. Log in to the online store and contact support via chat for the fastest response.
