If your end stop has three wires, 1 common, 1 normally open and the last normally closed, you should connect to the common and normally closed, not the normally open and normally closed.

the two wires should connect S and - on the ramps

I would guess you have tried to plug it into + and - wich when shorted kills all power to the board (and can kill the voltage regulator on the mega board)

Make sure its plugged in like

(this eg is using X min, Y min and Z max, move you wires left and right as needed, but not off of S and -)
