When the short occurred, you probably vented a cell. Do you have a volt meter? Most of the time I have found, if this happens, only one cell will vent, releasing the load on the others saving them from death.

Take a volt meter and check each cell individually. The bad one may even produce a negative voltage, but you will for sure be able to tell what one is bad.

I don't know if you have any soldering experience or not so you might just have to go get a new pack.

Thanks wheelchair well i just went ahead and threw the old pack away and bought a new one. I got everything fixed now so the new pack should be good to go.
