@henry53521 if the smoke came from the battery case, then the issue is most likely some burnt out component on your mainboard. Use something like this video to tear it down and see what went wrong with it. Now, since you were using batteries, you do want to remove and replace all of those and take a look at the contacts.
Once you have it apart, post some pictures of your boards so we can see what you see. Adding images to an existing question

Some related info: The TI-85 uses 4 AAA batteries. The port at the bottom is a 2.5mm 'headphone jack' that's used for communication with computers.
@thelastmill you are right and reformulated the response
