No communication/ bricked ecu

Was driving today and out of the blue the ecu bricked itself. Car was fine for months nothing new. Was driving and the check engine light came on so I tried to connect with my phone to check and clear the code but it never connected, so I grabbed my laptop and it still wouldn’t connect, I re download and installed kpro and still no luck. Car is stuck in limp mode and has a firm 4k rev limiter

Have you checked the fuses and wiring in the vehicle?

Have you opened the ECU and looked for any signs of damage?

I know that e9 has power and e7 is grounded. I put my ecu in a know good car and it still didn’t connect then plugged my friends ecu back in his car and his car fired up. I did open for inspection nothing looks burn or smell burn.
