I have a multimeter, ( even though I don't know how to use it) im a programmer not an electrician but my soldering skills are pretty good so could it be possible to find the bad component and replace it?
What do you mean by "everything else works"? Is it just the 5V and 6V LEDs that don't work, but the e.g. PWMs and GPIO work? Or is it that the the only thing on the DSC that works is the battery light, and everything else is toast?

Is it possible that it was plugged in with the power reversed?

Was the short before or after the DSC?
