GT electrical burning smell.

So I was riding on trails today, and my board started stuttering and chucked me off. Upon inspection, wisps of smoke and a burning electrical smell from beneath the front of the board. Wheel would turn but stuttered really hard and a made a loud sound and just kind of quit. I took the board apart at home and it still had a strong electrical burning smell from the front box, but all the connectors seemed well attached and nothing seemed odd or out of place. I don’t do drops or jumps, so I don’t think something has just wiggled loose – I feel like it might be a short inside the control box.

Then, board said it needed firmware updating and tried to install it, but with no luck and wanted me to repeat it multiple times.

Anyone have experience with this?

I’m assuming an electrical board short and a required return to FM in California…which sucks because I’m in NE Tennessee.
