from the looks of it its just the chip which took the punishment. if you can find out what chip it is you should be able to get a new on and it should still work.. you should also be able to do it yourself if youve userd a soldering iron. its a pretty easy chip to replace but sadly i dont have a BFL SC so cant tell you what chip you need

Hmm i wonder if it's the same part as mine. I blew something very similar flashing a 5GHs Jally here's the thread: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/jalapeno-single-sc-support/5325-broken-mosfet-jalapeno.html#post61385 (https://forums.butterflylabs.com/jalapeno-single-sc-support/5325-broken-mosfet-jalapeno.html#post61385)

I just ebay'd the part number and ordered one from there. It arrived in a couple of weeks. I've got someone soldering it for me now :)

Hope that helps.
