UP squared board won't boot and no blue LED on(Hardware may be broken)
Hi, I have ordered a UP squared board recently. It has been working well and it is connected with a battery(It is fixed on my drone and share its battery). A few days ago, when I unplug the battery and plug in a power converter(5V,4A) from the power socket in the room, the monitor connected to it shew nothing unless "no signal". After a few seconds, it is smoking and I cut off the power immediately, one spot on the board is very hot. After about 20 minutes, I use another 5V 4A power converter only a blue LED is on and stable when I plug in the power cable. I have tried several times to remove the coin battery and that didn't work.
Today, I tried the converter which caused smoking, the board smoke again. Then I connected another converter, no LED is on. I guess maybe some Components of the board are broken, though the board seems perfectly normal from the outside.
Can you help me to fix this? Thank you!

I don't think you can fix it.
If there is smoke and it happened when you connected the 5V4A PSU, I am afraid you damaged the board with that power supply.The PSU you have used and that caused the smoke it is probably broken/damaged or working off-specs and provided the wrong voltage
