My wallet hurts.
I know it might be a bit tricky, but do you know an electronic engineer?
Or even a college-level tech. This is the kind of programing/circuitry I used to do in college.

I would help you, but I don't have access to an oscilloscope...

By that I mean, if it's not the micro-controller that fried, it's probably just a bad design EMF/static-wise. FETs are extremely sensitive to this, even when in-circuit.
And they are extremely cheap to replace. So is a stocky diode to protect it (if you can fit it somewhere).

You would be looking at maybe 10$ in parts, if you can get a friend to diagnose the circuit.
