FSESC 6.6 dual short on 3.3v on 1 side

Hello

My friend tried to connect led through DC DC convertor to the FSESC 6.6 board

And after that 1 of the motors stopped working

After opening the board and checking for shorts 

He has short on the 3.3v on one side 

But if I conect to usb and vesc tool 

I can access both mcu local and can one 

Can it be a short in the mcu? 

Or if I can access it through vesc tool it isn't possible

If the 3.3V rail is alive, it is probably a short inside the STM.

The 3.3 is shorter to ground  on one side 

So it can be that I can access the atm through vesc tool

See the speed of the wheel and other info

But the atm still be shorted?

Update

Still there is a short on 3.3 to ground

All marked in red shorted to ground

The capacitor that marked in white is heating up to very hight temp as soon as the board is powered on(I removed in in the photo

Update n.2

I removed 3 of the ADB8418 that was shorted also

And the 3.3v short on the board is gone now

Checked them outside the board and they are shorted

So my question is can I just replace them 

Or they probably killed the irf7749 mosfets too
