Blown chips are a common sign that usually the drive was connected "backwards", which happens relatively frequently with the 20 pin header. I've blown mine once and I almost thought I had killed the whole machine, but actually these chips are very common and you can replace them all for less than 10$!

You should actually replace them all for safety - even if they don't show signs of damage, they're likely toasted as well.
