However, when you say "kinked 180 degrees", are you sure it's really

And how did it get kinked? A dead laser would produce the same symptoms,
right?

If you look at the fiber with an infrared viewer and it is the fiber that is
is broken and not the laser, you should see a lot of scattered light that
emanates from the fiber core at the breaking point.
