Nitehawk 36 not connecting anymore

I have been using a Nitehawk 36 Rev C in my Voron 2.4 for about six months. During my last print, the printer suddenly stopped. I lost connection to the Nitehawk. Shortly after, white smoke started coming from the toolhead.

The smoke was caused by the hot end apparently running at maximum power and melting the plastic components next to it. Since then starting the printer results in the hotend immediately beginnig to heat up. In Klipper, I received the message "Printer is not ready," followed by "mcu 'nhk': Unable to connect." after a while. One red and one green LED are constantly lit. I couldn't find any documentation explaining the meaning of the LEDs.

I checked all the cables and the thermistor and couldn't find any issues. When I had issues with the Thermistor or connectivity in the past the hotend was usually turned off and not heated to the maximum. Therefore I assume it is an issue with the board although i cannot see any visible damage like a short.

Here is the end of my klippy.log

Could this be any other issue than a board failure?
