TalonSRX Fried?

Hello,

While I was prototyping a off-season build, I had two TalonSRX's hooked up to standard 12v motors, I uploaded the code to the roboRIO, tested tank drive, and noticed that one of the motors stopped moving, upon further inspection, I had discover the m- and m+ leads of the Talon had touched..

I used alligator clips for connection testing, but that was really bad idea since they touched....

Anyway, the SRX won't display any lights now, and makes a crackling noise every time I reset the circuit. Is it safe to assume it's fried?
