Wemos D1 mini - accidentally shorted 3.3v and ground

Hello All,

I accidentally shorted 3.3v and ground PINs. Windows detects the USB device if I plugin, but that's all. No life signs. I probably killed something but I don't know what. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Most probably, the RT9013-33 SOT-23-5 3.3V LDO regulator is now broken.

Theoretically the regulator should be protected against that. There is a resettable fuse on some versions of the D1. I don't know what sort that is but if it is a polyfuse then these can take 1 to 2 days to recover. So I would leave it off for a couple of days and try again.
