cRIO smoke

Last night we made our leads longer for the battery and got the positive and negitive switch (don't ask how). When our robot was turned on we saw smoke come from the cRIO. It was on for a second or two but then it was turned off. After the mistake was corrected and power turned back on the cRIO worked. Has this happen to anyone? Should we be concerned of the cRIO failing? Any advice or info or who to ask at NI will help.
