That is good news!

As I already mentioned, do be sure to (if you haven't already) test
the motor itself by giving it power directly from the battery. If it
roars to life as expected (be sure to be holding the plane well, or
Murphy's law will have it flying at your face!) then all is good, but
if it just gets hot or moves slowly, the motor is probably fried.

Your motor is probably around $10 US, and the circuit board $70 US.
Since a fried motor is a very likely cause for a fried ESC, you want
to check that before you put the new electronics in and have the motor
fry it too.
