Changing out hot-end... did I fry my board

Was disconnecting hotend and clipped wires with power still on (stupid, I know). Could a heater-wire short cause a permanent mintemp error? 

Now I'm unable to clear mintemp error. All fuses are fine. Unable to enter menu beyond status screen. even on restart. Please help.

I've done the same before. This is likely a blown fuse on the board. When using metal pliers holding the heat block you might've shorted the heater cartridge wire. Look for surface mount fuses that look similar to these. Hope that helps 😀

Printer off and unplugged.... I'd suggest using a VMM and set to continuity mode and prob across all the fuses that you can locate, also the large automotive looking ones (not likely those).
