Welp. I did it, I fried the arduino.

I tried to solve the problem using a fan, but I couldn't fin one so I remembered that I had heatsinks and maybe they would fit in the disipators and help with the heat.

Stupid of me, the heatsink touched the transistors next to the disipators and the next moment the printer disconnected from the computer.

Now, the shield don't have any led active, but at least the arduino still have his green led on and a pretty weak one in orange in the arduino(not the ramps). The funny thing is that when I touch bot transistors with my hand the red led that usually meant that the extruder is heating ,activates but is still very weak.

If Im right, all the symtops correspond to those 3 components in pic, right? Do I have to buy another RAMPs or can still be saved?

Note: Also a funny smell is coming from the shield when I connect it, and Im sure its not PLA.
