[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1403424, member: 46727"] Call the genius bar back at the Apple store and ask them if they tested your MBP to further determine where the smoke was coming from? Perhaps there is no "visible" damage, but from my long experience as an electronic tech, where there is smoke, there's a problem. A burning smell usually indicates a short - in other words, an excess of current flow. And if it came from the underside of the Logic board, that spells trouble; it likely means a new Logic board.
