Now, the only thing that I can remember that happened on the last board was that when I was using some probes to check the Vdd,Vss, and Vin pins, I think I shorted out the pins, I remember the power LED blinking once or twice. Now the question is, is the processor that sensitive, that a short on the Vdd,Vss, or Vin pins, is enough to fry the the thing. I am still hoping somebody has an answer to the "Chip connection failed". It would be interesting to know, under what cicumstances that error code would come up.
