I thought I could power a fan by connecting each of its rudimentary wires to pins 2 and 4 (5v pins) on the raspberry. Immediately, the screen the pi was connected to went blank, even though the pi was plugged in. The PWR (not the ACT) LED stayed on but now the pi won't boot. Question 1: what is now broken on my pi? Question 2: can I fix it in any way?
fan specs:
12 volt DC,
0.15 amps,
1.8 watts

Raspberry Pi GPIO layout shows pins 2 and 4 are 5v and pin 6 is Ground.
