High is 5V for TTL electronics, low is <1V. 24V is goodbye :-(

What was probably needed was to connect the right 5V line to a 0V
line, one or more of which would be ground.

Ouch, sorry to hear that...

You could try looking at the circuit board. If there are no obviously
burnt out components follow back from pin 1 (or pin 11 if it is not
connected to ground) and replace each component in turn until it works
again. If there is an obviously burnt out component hope it is still
identifiable and is not an eeprom or something irreplaceable.
Good luck.
