Yep, you probably overloaded the input.

It should be repairable.

About a year ago I sent back a USRP motherboard for repair; it was not free, 
but it was far less than a new board.

Frankly, if it was your own error, I wouldn't expect the repair to be free.  
Not trying to be too hard or anything, just relating the reality of Ettus 
Research being a small, niche, manufacturer and unable to underwrite free 
repairs (because the repair is not going to be free for Ettus).
