This is the saddest post I've read lately.
Being new, can you return it to where you purchased it?

This is just a wild guess because I'm new to DNA 200 as well but I do know that I read that 200 board was never designed to use to 18650 batteries it was designed for lipo so there's no reverse polarity protection. Is it possible you put your batteries in the wrong way because that will kill your mom and would explain why you're only getting power from USB cable

While the DNA200 doesn't have reverse polarity protection. But if you did reverse the polarity, it is suppose to blow just the fuse on the board and save everything else. Also the HCigar VT133 added reverse polarity protection that the batteries must pass through before getting to the DNA200 board. Although I haven't tested any of my four yet to see if the reverse polarity protection really works.
