Because it didn't smoke/burn (and I assume doesn't smell bad) and it totally doesn't work, yet is recognized by the PC, I would look closely at the circuit traces - especially the power and/or ground.

Good luck on pulling off the heatsink without destroying the FETs. Try freezing the ESC first - I find that helps weaken the bond. Some people have said that heat works.

Honestly, for $50, I'd just send it in...
