I did the same thing a few months back.  I had allowed the drive's PCB to ground on the Amiga's shield.  Checking the PCB, I couldn't find any burns or any place where the magic smoke might have escaped so I finally gave up and just replaced the dead drive with a PC drive that I modified for Amiga use.  Takes about about 15 minutes as long as you pick one of the very easy to modify PC drives.  I just had to solder a jumper wire, move an SMD resistor and and cut a trace.

 
could you give a link to details of how to do this
