How to fix MacBook Pro Logic board short circuited?

I was trying to remove the battery of my 2010 Macbook Pro, I think logical board was short circuited by my metal screwdriver. I saw some smoke and smell like something burnt.

Now, computer can’t turn on, and I tried to put on MagSafe the green light is off.

It will be really appropriated if anyone could suggest on how to fix it.

Look around the battery connector for burned areas, take a photo of it and post it. It’s certain to need micro-soldering.
