I'm designing a project that contains an Arduino Nano, two micro servos (SG90), a 4 channel relay shield, a DHT22, an RTC module, and an HD44780 20x4 LCD display. I double checked and none of the components are being powered through the Arduino, but rather an external power supply. The Arduino is also powered from this same external power supply.
So in my previous version of this project, I had the LCD, DHT22, RTC, and relays working just fine. Continuing to develop the project, I added one of the servos to the code and things went haywire, instantly. Only half the characters showed on the LCD and alot of times there were weird characters on the screen. I disconnected the servo and tried to troubleshoot the LCD. Now, there is nothing showing on the LCD and I can't upload any sketch. Not the one I was working on and not even the blink sketch.
When I try to upload a sketch, such as blink, the Arduino program goes through verifying, compiling and uploading the RX/TX lights light up on the Arduino, but the sketch doesn't get uploaded and doesn't work. Also, now, when the Arduino has any power, through either the USB cable or through the external power source via VIN, the "L" light just consistently blinks real quickly about every one seconds.
Below is the verbose output from when I tried to upload the Blink sketch.
Sketch uses 1,030 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30,720 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

avrdude done. Thank you.

Is my Arduino shot? Is there anything I can do software wise? Did this just happen or is there something you think I did to cause this? Any other comments or suggestions? Thanks.
