The display cable probably got pinched by the (grounded) drive tray. If the power wire within it got pinched then a fuse would have blown. This is fairly easy to check with a multimeter. There are 3 1A surface mount fuses in close proximity to the display header. Search the FAQ or this forum and you should find photos,,,

I assume that the VFD nipple is intact? That is definitely FAQed.
