Cart damage through turned on NG?

I had a little ... let me say 'incident' three days ago: I accidently put a home cart into my AES and also pulled it out. Seconds later I realized the system was still turned on. Now, when I try to play the game, only a black screen appears and nothing happens. It works with other games, though. Can the cart or the NG have taken damage through this (truely great) action? (If so, not the worst way to get rid of $200...)

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys, a little help on this one please!

I've never seen or heard about cart damage when you pul a cart out of a system when it's turned on, even happened to myself once with my magician lord and it still works.

Anything is possible. My guess is that a cap on the board has blown. If you want, you can send the game to me and I'll take a look at it for you.

Hmm, turned on system? stop rubbing it! j/k

OK its late and my neos aren't right here... do they have on board fuses to prevent problems with carts, a la snes?

OK, I'm going on vacation for about 10 days now, so I won't be able to post any replies. Thanks for your offer Jeff, I will contact you if I can't find anybody that can fix the problem over here.

I can take a look at the machine - I'm in england
