Painstakingly populated the board perfectly, checked without power, no shorts, put battery in, and it smoked somewhere near the electrolytic caps before I could even turn it on, won't power on now.

Disgusted, just want it gone and out of my mind, free for the price of shipping, don't want to deal with out of country shipping if possible.
Have about $40 into it at least, includes a power adaptor, no battery included though.

photos if needed, but I put it away for now before I throw it away.
