I received one of our units back from a customer of ours abd the pic was
completly destroyed. The location where the die is/was was all burned
and such. It is suspected of being put in a mircowave oven.

The PIC is a SMT version of the 16C57 and is operated from a 4-cell
ni-cad battery pack, all mounted inside a high-impact ABS plastic case.
The unit is a handheld device and designed for being bumped and banged
around somewhat.

I will get a picture of it, and post it to my website.
