This seems to happen a lot--on SATA the power and ground are just too close together. Just find yourself a molex-to-SATA power adapter and solder the wires from the SATA end to the pins or directly to the PCB of the HDD. Often this is all that is needed to get it running again and you can even continue using the drive without having to buy a replacement.

The warranty is already shot from burning it anyway.
