The stamp no longer gets hot, so whatever was
interfering could have burnt up.  But now when I try
and program the device, the software says it detects
it, but it's not responding.  But whatever happened to
it I'm sure destroyed it, I burned my finger when I
touched the microcontroller on the stamp.

When the stamp initially started to burn up, it was
unprogrammed, and nothing was attached.  All pins were
in there place from what I can see, and that would
seem the only place for error on my part (it was in
the board of education, and I got a BS2sx that came
assembled).  I wouldn't think it is very likely that
something got messed up at the factory unnoticed, but
based on the way it died I just don't know what I
could have done to cause it.
