Short Circuit
I tryied to connect a fan to the raspberry. When I did this, I accidentally connected the 2 pins in the first row and I'm pretty sure I maked a short circuit, even the power button flashed brighter then I connected them. Now only the power button is on when I connect to the power. Is my raspberry dead for sure?

For the answer to this question, see the "What I have learned" thread.
And some folks need to stop being fanboys and see the forest behind the trees.

I assume you mean you connected the 3.3v to 5v, so probably

Which two pins?

The first row next to the memory card. And the second row too.

This is looking down from the top with the SD card socket nearest you.
EDIT: That does sound like the 3V3 and 5V pins then. Sorry, but it's most likely fried IMO.

Re: Short Circuit
For reference find the P1 printed on the board or find the pin with the square solder pad. That is pin 1 (3V3).
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.

Re: Short Circuit
1) you don't need a fan
2) use jumpers
3) don't connect +3.3V to +5V
4) you don't need a fan
5) you will burn out your GPIO pins if you draw too much power
6) yes you have probably made a brick
p.s. did I mention
