Take off the slide plate and reseat the bobbin case. Can you turn the handwheel by hand now? If not, you may have a thread jam that seized the machine causing the security device to activate to prevent further damage. This doesn't seem like a situation that would fry a board, but if it moves freely, but still won't turn on; take it to a technician or return it.
Try these suggestions
1. Change the needle--use a needle that's for the fabric being sewed
2. Rethread the machine--top --make sure to use every thread guide
3. try a different bobbin--make sure bobbin is inserted correctly into the bobbin case, & make sure the bobbin is turned the correct way in the bobbin case
4. make sure the thread has not come off the thread take up lever
5. Clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for lint or threads
My machine was also not sewing in reverse and stuck in a basting stitch. It was a simple fix. Unscrew the plate and remove any pins stuck in there. All fixed
