False HMS Error

Long story short, a small piece of plastic was broken off into the toolhead cover socket on the TH board.
I tried to use a needle to remove it, forgetting I had turned the printer back on. There were quite a few sparks. Now I keep getting an error that the filament cutter is stuck, when it isn’t.

I am planning on replacing the TH board and the extruder unit, any thoughts on what else could cause this?

I also had to unlatch the filament cutter to take off the TH board so maybe that has something to do with it?
