I don't normally mess with electricity, however I will go as far as to replace a wall socket or install a new light, fan , hood fan etc. as long as all I am doing is disconnecting wires and reattaching to a new item.

Issue. I bought a USB wall outlet, 2 plugs , 2 USB outlets. I disconnected the old counter plug, Installed this new fancy unit. I guess I did it wrong because I connected both hotwires and the white.
I should have installed 1 and 1 and capped the other hotwire.

Now I have reverted back to the original counter wall plug and NADA. The circuit breaker will not flip back on.

Did I blow the circuit Breaker? Do I have to replace that now?
