Yes but when I turn it on there is no sound. The reset button is not
"out". Should I just buy a new one, if so is it hard to install?

That's because all the smoke got out. Once the smoke is released, most
motors are crap. (larger industrial motors can be rebuilt and have the
smoke re-charged)

Allow a couple of hours to put in a new one. They are not difficult to do
and since most are made by the same company, the drain line will probably
line up as well. The most difficult part is working under the sink and
lifting the new one into place from an awkward position.

For what it's worth, after much struggling I finally got over the problem of
trying to hold the disposal in place while hooking it up. Got one of the
small jacks out of the car and used it to lift and hold the disposal in
place. Have to be very careful that you don't lift too high and screw up the
sink.
