[Gumstix-users] Robovero issue

[Roger U. <rog...@gm...>]

Hi,

I received my replacement Robovero today.  I connected the mini USB to
the PC, and a solid green light came on.  I plugged in the adapter
from Gumstix, 5v 3.5A Center positive, and a red light started
blinking.  Good so far I think...  Then I touch IC6 ant it is
painfully hot.  This is just like the last board I had.

Can the folks at Gumstix comment if this is normal, and what the
function of IC6 is, and ideally why it is so hot?

Misc details:
     The board WITHOUT a Gumstix mounted is pulling 2W solid once I
apply power.
     I haven't let it have power for more than 10 seconds given the heat on IC6.

Thanks,

Roger
