Guess you're right, you do learn from your mistakes. Shame its always the expensive ones.

I would take it to bits and have a look to see if theres a crack in the PCB. That copper is only about 0.3mm thick for a guess so it doesnt take much to split it if you bend it.

As for working as is, you might find that its only using two of the three banks of FETS and thats why, im unsure.

I have no clue what the consequences of running it like that might be.

Good luck dude. Worst case scenario you can pick up a used matrix or tc spec on here for between 45 and 75 quid
