Accidentally shorted out 360 DVD drive PCB...

Somehow I managed to short out the DVD drive in my 360 just a little bit ago while re-flashing it... I feel really stupid. Is there any way to replace the capacitors or something to get it working again? I don't own a volt meter, so I figured I would ask here before I wasted my time trying to find one. It was a BenQ vad6038.

Also, if anyone has an extra 360 drive they'd be willing to trade me or something, PM me please. I was hoping to give this as a christmas present and I don't really have the extra money to buy a new drive right now.

Thanks in advance for any help
