Admittedly, they were running in Virtual Machines on my laptop. But it had always worked fine before. I tried 3 different VMs with the same crashing result. So I thought I'd try a machine running Windows natively, so I brought it in the house. I hooked it to a 9v DC wall wart (tested at 10v, which seems . Hooked it up to the Windows machine directly, and got the exact same crashing. And the serial port doesn't respond when I terminal directly into it. I occasionally get some strange characters, and that's it.
Then I noticed the thing was HOT. The case was really warm, the 3 main ICs are hot, along with the big silver capacitor on the board. LED was lit up just fine. So, do you think I need to buy a new one?
