Seems the tracks are damaged, where did the smoke came from ?
Any crashes before ?

Check whether any components in KK board is burnt.

Replacement depends on your sellers discretion on returns and replacements, so you should check with him.
Altho I wont be surprised if seller denies replacement since its not easy to ascertain in such cases if its a user error or a defective product as you had used the FC successfully. Good Luck.  Smiley

Smoke only comes from the board if there is interchange of Electrical Terminals ... By chance, negative  is given to positive terminal and vice-versa

That is Ground track being ripped off, but this seems strange Huh? Even reverse polarity wont make it... How come the Copper track came off the board ? Due to heat ?

Did you used the battery voltage monitoring function ?

P.S: The board seems still, repairable Smiley

If you want more capabilities with your quad (RTH , Waypoints , Telemetry...) Go for APM. But if you need only stable flying, CC3D is better and is very very cheaper (16$ only) .
Both flight controller will fit on your frame Smiley

That is indeed a good decision. My clone APM came without two screws. Also, the barometer on my board is a lot more noisy than my friend's original APM board. Try and get the original APM 2.6 and not the 2.5.2 clone. It'll be worth the wait.

Oh, and the last link is for version 2.8 and not 2.6.

I don't really know. I didn't get any official links upon a google search. It seems the 2.8 has a jumper for selecting between internal and external magnetometer, whereas, the 2.6 clones don't have an internal magnetometer at all. In any case, buy the APM with plastic cover. That way you can do perfect accelerometer calibration and add light protection for the onboard barometer.

Well, I got my clone from Satya (http://quadkopters.com/) and have no problems with it. Adding proper vibration protection and light protection did away with the baro noise too. My quad flies great!

You can get the original one from overseas. But, if you don't want to wait long and just want the quad for general flying, then go for a clone. There's differences in manufacturing quality only.

Get a good GPS even if you buy an APM clone. APM's coolest features require a GPS and a low quality GPS will make them seem lame.

Check this one out:
http://www.quadkopters.com/product/flight-controllers/neo-7n-gps-w-3-axis-compass/

It's supposed to be better than the neo 6M (or 6H) version.

You may go for this APM complete kit if you are buying outside India Smiley
http://www.ebay.com/itm/131340217453?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

And all links you posted are clones - for original APM, you have to buy from 3DR.
