Default Nooby question

Is there a visible sign, smell etc that you blew a board? I was adding li-po to a friends truck tonight and the switch sparked and smoked just like on mine. We proceeded to do the switch bypass with no problems, and now nada!

If you see sparks and smoke, good chance it's a goner. Guessing something shorted?

Visibly signs: things look burnt, as if they've caught on fire.

"Smell" signs: most electronics, when they're fried, smell like rotten eggs.

Yeah thats the thing, I expected the norm as far as smell or smoke with a short. The only thing that smoked a little was the switch and mine did the exact same thing when I added lipo. So I removed the switch did the bypass and now there is nothing going on. I have even redone the bypass twice? I added lipo by removing the battery tray and soldering the deans to the board. My solder joints were good.
