What's happening?

By the sounds of it your FEZ might be broken by back EMF like Jeff_Brit is mentioning.
Just to illustrate I have a MOSFET IRFZ44N running the motor on Whirligig. On a test run I got entangled in some water plants that locked the propeller just for a second. That was enough to burn a hole in my MOSFET and that is rated 55V 49A (Im running on a 12V system).
By the looks of it, your FEZ is shorted out internally and if youre drawing 1A current, Ill say its time to order a new one.
sorry for your loss

Thank you all for your support and help :hand: I don’t know what I will do, now :think:

See you in a few weeks, when the Panda boards will get delivered. Bye all

LOL!!! this is too funny! :clap:

It sounds like you might have been drawing too much current from one of the voltage regulators and it heated up. I think it is possible for a voltage regulator to get hot enough to unsolder itself. You might find a short situation.

If the short is in the voltage regulator, -why is the cpu heating up?

Because the short is allowing the full unregulated voltage to get to the cpu chip? Not all shorts are to ground.

Then maybe he could check the voltage directly on the cpu?

he’s already checked the voltage coming out of the vregs results are above

My Domino is dead, let’s forget it. (and me for some time, too, btw)

See you later

Dont disappear Bec a Fuel, we still need you in here.

I can’t be of any use right now ??? But I will reappear as soon as I can :hand:
