#91142 EDIT: I only fried the voltage regulator, got replacements on order
EDIT 2: nope, I fried a Schottky diode.

i have a NodeMCU, ESP8266 board. I made the utter noob mistake of having some metal around while doing some testing with my NodeMCU. It touched a piece of the board near the Vin, GRD, RST pins. It no longer connects to my computer, and I only read about 1.8V between Vin and GRD, and 0.92 between 3.3V and GRD. What's the best way to diagnose this? If I'm lucky and it's just the regulator or some other easily replicable components, I'd like to fix it.
