I have an idea of how my MCU got fried but I just wanted to confirm what I am thinking is correct and that it is the only possibility so that I can avoid it in the future.
I had my MCU powered on and the metal contacts of the solder joints accidentally came into contact with a metal panel that the MCU was mounted on. It fried and smoked. It probably shorted touching the metal plate and had too much current flowing through which burned the board...
But could there be any other reasons?
