Power832 system blown?

I have a Power832 with PC5010 and PC5108 8-zone extender, two PC5516 keypads.

During a reno, the wire to zone 12 motion sensor was cut, and the entire system went dead, keypads are dark, motion sensors blink erratically.

Is it likely that one or both boards are damaged, or could a factory reset + reprogram fix this?

Welcome to the forums.

Doubtful the expansion board is damaged. In cutting that motion sensor wire..... the AUX 12v power bus was shorted on the main panel. That board uses PTC protection so there are no fuses.

Do you have a voltmeter ?
I'd check AC voltage to the board. It should be between 16-18vAC.
I'd check the battery voltage. It should be better than 12.5vDC.
Measure the AUX +/- terminals (next to AC terminals) should be 12Vdc.
