Probably damaged the thermistor or the connection to it. The printer will not operate if it can not get a reading from the thermistor.

You would first need to investigate to see what exactly the issue is. A broken wire? Actual damage to thermistor? Easiest fix is just buy a new thermistor and replace it. But trying to figure out the issue will lead to the cause and prevent it from happening again.

I would still urge you to try and figure out what is wrong or happened to your current thermistor. If it is a mechanical issue or user isdue then it will repeat with the new one.
