I accidentally shorted my SPARKFUN ESP32 THING's (13907) 3v3 and ground pins

I wanted test an led and therefore I connected across 3v3 and ground pins of Sparkfun ESP32 Thing, expecting it to have a pull up / pull down resistor. But to my surprise i blew my led besides blowing up the power indicator led of ESP32. So, when i try to upload any code like blink to it, it is saying

Connecting...__...connecting....____...

And ultimately it's throwing a fatal error. But my ESP32 is being detected in COM port list of arduino IDE

Any help to fix this is highly appreciated Thanks in advance

You probably blew the 3.3V regulator or the diode before it. You can find them in the power and filtering section of the following schematic: https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/41630.

Hope this helps.
