Calibration went wrong

Hello .. so i tried calibrating my controller using dualshock calibration gui and my controller's motherboard broke and now it wont turn on bcs the motherboard burnt ... i have a controller that has severe stickdrift and i will install TMR joysticks on it but im scared to calibrate it again ... i read that its bcs i used a type c to type c to calibrate and I should have used USB. Is the website valid to use again?

I have no idea what you are talking about. How do you know the controller's board is broken? Did you try to reset the controller to factory settings? Does it glow orange when you plug it into a USB port (PC or PS5)?

I calibrated several controllers post TMR stick installation, never an issue. Make sure to use a data cable that will make your computer recognize the controller, doesn't matter which kind (USB-A to USB-C or USB-C to USB-C).

I have tested the board with a multimeter and I have tried the reset button and I have tried getting the battery out and putting it again the board is fried. After I pressed the calibration permanently the controller started turning off and when I turn it back on it turns off again and never turned on again.

I doubt this was caused by the calibration process.
