How to disable I/O Bank Source Voltage

Hi, Im working with a D0-Nano Board / Cyclone IV . While i was making some measurement, i conected by a mistake in shortcircuit a GPIO output with 12v from a Voltage Source. That pin was bronken,...

I doubt the FPGA is salvageable after an incident like this. You may be able to recover the board by having the FPGA swapped, but that would be much more expensive than just buying a new board. It's "only" $79 after all.

Live and learn - we've all been there before (at least most of us old farts).

Thaks! for answering.

Yeah its cheaper buying another kit. But, i thought, that maybe, if a could disable some source voltage of that pin's bank, avoid the shortcut to GND , and keep using the FPGA with the others GPIO.

In my country (Argentina) i have to import the kit and that take some days, and i have many extras taxes to pay for it.
