LCD Panel Went Dark

I installed my Layer fan but when tested it, it didn't turn on. I assumed it was my wiring and decided to ditch the connectors I had installed. I forgot that my printer was still on, and went a head and clipped the wires to the layer fan to remove the connector. As soon as I cut the wires with regular wire cutters, I head a sudden noise and the LCD screen completely went dark. I have tried turning on and off as well as disconnect the printer and reconnecting. The LCD won't show signs of life. The main fan for the power supply still works so there is power to the machine. Not sure if I damaged the controller when I cut the wires?

There's a fuse on the controller, hopefully you just blew that out. It's an automotive fuse so spares are as close as an auto parts store.

Check the small fuses by reading this link: http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php ... 2&start=10

The large automotive type fuse normally handles the heatbed, the small ones you can get from electronic stores as shown at the link.
