LDC1000 EVM cannot connect to the laptop

The system that I'm running is windows 10.

I plugged LDC1000 EVM into my laptop and open the GUI. The GUI showed up a firmware update message and I clicked "yes". After a few minutes the window showed the update failed message then I closed the update window. 

After that the GUI shows no connection between the laptop and LDC1000.

I have read some threads in this forum and tried to short +5V and LDCLK together. However smoke came out from one of the components on the board.

So far the two indicator lights were out and when I plug LDC1000 EVM into my laptop, it becomes very hot.

Is there any way that I can still get it work or it's already spoiled?

Best Regards.
