The obsidian board is designed so that the board itself won't cause a short but there could be a loose wire. My next suggestion would be contact deep at
shipping@ultrsabers.com. Let him know what happened and the repairs should be under warranty but don't quote me on that because it depends how "new" new really is. The good thing is that Ultrasabers customer service is excellent. Give them a shout, that's your best move now.
Cheers,
