Ok, so a while back, I was unplugged things from my breadboard and a 12V wire fell onto my board and touched a 5V supply wire. The lights all immediately came on. Would replacing the microcontroller chip fix my problem? Its an UNO rev3
Did it give any negative effect like smoke a BOOM or something like that?
I think it is not required as the voltage is regulated by the board and the datasheet also says that the recommended input voltage is 7V - 12V
The 5v is after the regulator so all components connected to 5v will probably be fried. While you may be able to replace the micro, the other soldered components are probably fried as well.
The input of 7 to 12v is into the regulator, not into the 5v.

When you plug it into USB, does a USB device appear? If yes, try replacing the microcontroller. If no, try replacing the whole board.

Will do

No response from computer. >:(
Welp, I think it's dead in that case. At least you didn't damage the computer it was connected to (someone posted today about their laptop not turning on anymore after a similar accident that took out their arduino).

Luckily, it was connected to an AC adapter

Ha Ha Ha...
Well, I purchased cheap clone on ebay, its was like $8. That'll have to do for now.
