Sounds bad.I really cannot imagine something like this happening,on a pellet stove,unless 1the board hit the control panel directly,2 there already was a wire rubbing through,ant the impact pushed it over the edge.Could you imagine if a hard jolt killed your refrigerator?Would never happen.

The end of board hit 2 inches away from control board. I’ll pick up a fuse on my way home from work today and pray a

The touchscreen is separated from the pcb by the metal box that screws to the side panel. There should be a fuse taped to the inside of the control box. Esw gives you one extra. Lets hope it was some chafed wires.
UPDATE: took back off fuse was as black as ace of spades found out control panel bolts were not tight. Replaced fuse plugged back in fires back up! No chaffing on wires. Fluke hopefully been running for 4 hours now

A blackened glass fuse usually indicates that a massive short caused it to blow; that's consistent with your event. Glad you got it running!
