Possible 5v Power Distribution Trip

I was testing out a program to use the servos on the axis camera to have it follow a target. When the servos first moved, they yanked the axis mount and it fell over onto one of the nuts connecting power to the power distribution board. I've tested everything out and the only thing I can't get to turn on is the camera. I've noticed that there is a slight burnt smell around the 5V connection on the power distribution board and that when I hook the camera up to it, the 5V light doesn't turn on. Is there a way to know that I have tripped that breaker and not ruined the camera?
