Yikes! Do you know how to take the bottom cover off? If not, I believe you just have to remove a few Phillips screws an lift/pry off the bottom casing. If you can open it, let us all know what you see!

@tootsky3 when's the last time you opened a Mac? No Phillips screws in the bottom cover since 2012. Just Pentalobe.

Thanks, mayer! I guess I've only been repairing macs from 2008 or so at my district's school, so I'm happy to learn that!

Don't touch it or try to repair it!!

Take it as fast as you can to Apple AND GET A WARRANTY REPAIR. THEN CONSIDER GETTING AN ADDITIONAL TWO YEARS OF COVERAGE WITH APPLE CARE.

Sounds like something decided to go up in smoke. I would go with mayer's answer, as you do not want to cause more damage than what has already been done.
