FIrmware flashing help #55

I finished soldering and wanted to test the board. On linux I followed the steps and installed the bootloader and ran it. I got. Message saying it was fine. I then went to windows and tried to use QMK toolbox to upload VIA firmware but when I try to get into the bootloader mode nothing happens.

I have tried holding boot, taping reset and releasing boot. And hold boot when plugging in. but QMK does not get any message, nor does device manager show me anything.

I I was spamming the buttons and QMK showed a message once and I cant get it back again.

The only part I swapped was ABL-16.000MHz-B4Y for ABL-16.000MHz-B1U as the B4Y was out of stock. but this should not have caused the problem.

The best part: I tried reflowing the usb port and checking for shorts. I left the board plugged in for 5 mins and found smoke coming from the cap and or usb port. Im just glad I was there to put it out. This is the 2nd board I have broke and I only have 3 left, it also took out the usb cable.

Any advice on what went wrong, was it the crystal that caused some problem?
