Sometimes power switches will get sticky and or dirty and the contacts will stay open or closed despite the handle being in the opposite state.
Another possibility is if you accidentally shorted the heater wiring there's often a fusible link (piece of magnet wire thinner than the rest of the wiring designed to burn open like a fuse if there's a short).
There's enough that could go wrong that no definite conclusion can be made from available info.
What I typically do in cases like this is pull the chassis and do bench resistance and voltage tests.

I monkeyed with the circuit breaker and sure enough it came back to life. But I'm still not getting a picture or raster on the screen, and still no HV.
