So your next steps should be 1) make sure you have an up-to-date backup and 2) take it for service...

freitasm is right. dont expect that unit to retain any important data, and if you want to keep using an electrical appliance that has had smoke coming out of it, without having it serviced, then you should expect to end up in the Darwin Awards at some point...
