That sounds bad. If you saw it cook the motor's external power connections then all bets are off. It may be beyond garage repairs.
You've probably been through it already but I'd first check the power source. Could provide a clue as to how badly things were affected. Was that rail overloaded? Was something shorted? There could also be damaged traces or ribbon and you could end up with a similar or worse problem if you don't catch everything.
If you do start swapping parts stick with identical revisions. Some models let you get away with more than others.
Spending more time now on research will improve your chances. Keep asking and searching. I haven't had to fix any modern caviars but you can bet plenty of people have. Lots of those things out there.
The only other thing I can offer is to suggest you experiment on donor drives. Better to get a feel for the parts on a cadaver than a patient. The first couple repairs are dicey.
Good luck!
