You're not supposed to let the magic smoke out. Things stop working when the magic smoke leaks out.

On the bright side, you're occupying a Maytag repairman. That guy should be beyond excited to have something to do, right?

Sorry to hear the small one is unwell. Speedy recovery wishes on their way...
