I guess you are stuck with a bad board - since it's under warranty, I'd probably stop right there, box it up and return it for exchange or warranty.
The real question is, is it a bad design (will this happen again, even if you get the board replaced) or was it damaged from the get go at the factory (maybe an assembler put the battery in backwards accidently during its first test run) and killed it then? Even touching the leads in reverse for just a fraction of a second would kill a module or board exactly this way.
Yes, stuff like that drives me crazy too when you know its probably a simple fix.
