It is a wd shape circuit . Its spindle motor IC is burnt. First clean the circuit points with Acetone then use soldering iron to sold again the burn points. Then use hot air gun to remove the IC. Heat the IC for 10 second the put soldering paste on it then heat it for about 20 to 30 second then pick up it with teweezer. Same like in the PCB of IC change.
