Shorted my MK2S trying to clear clogged filament around the hotend/nozzle. What do I need to replace?

I wasn't thinking straight and accidentally shorted my MK2S while trying to clean some clogged filament around the hotend and nozzle with a wire brush. Now the printer won't power on at all. The thermistor wires aren't broken.

Can anyone let me know what I should do next? Should I be testing anything, or putting replacement parts on order (would appreciate URL links if possible)? Thanks in advance!

If you are lucky you have only blown a fuse. Check the car type fuses in the Rambo enclosure and the fuses in the Power Supply Unit. Just hope you have not fried the whole Rambo board.
