Default Smoke coming from Climate control

i have an automatic climate control system in my car. i just started my car and it started smoking a lot and none of the controls respond. while doing i quick Google search i read somewhere that this could possibly be a re-call? if not is there anywhere i can buy one at a good price? i have a 93 850, are all of the other years compatible? thanks

this is what i found inside of the climate control, it's basically fried and two of the resistors burnt up and fell out. I'm guessing there is no hope for this unit
