Luckily it doesn't seem to be the magic kind. My 9xtreme arrived today (finally!) and at the end of the install I hooked up my lipo correctly. There definitely isn't much room left in the battery compartment with the usb port in the intended place and a 2.65 ah turnigy 1c battery pack. As I was putting the battery cover back on I think I bridged the battery's xt60 connector with the usb. A little crackle was my first indicator. I opened it back up quickly, took the battery out, and a small waft of smoke was sneaking out from inside the case. I inspected the board and there's no obvious damage, not sure where the smoke came from.
The 9xtreme/transmitter power up just fine, I can connect to eepskye and read the model data that I set up, voice is working great. The only issue I found is when I enter bootloader it shows "no firmware". Any idea what I may have fried, if anything? I will try to bind and fly tomorrow and post results. Thanks for the help.
