Sadly, I think you'll need at least a new logic board. You might find looking for a used MacBook Pro as a cheaper option here and transfer your drive or files to it. As we don't know what else is damaged here.

It might be wise to first see if you can recover your data which is on the drive by seeing if a second Mac can access the files using an adapter like this: Startech 2.5" SATA to USB adapter
