Quark fried, blown capacitor...

I wish it was just thermal, lots of white smoke came out and a HOT heastsink. It would turn on and operate, but with tons of cogging. I sent it back the retailer and waiting on a replacement. The first one ran fine, but I broke off the programming button.

Oh, right, I forgot you said that. I am a little irritated about this whole thing, I guess it's hard for me to remember stuff at the moment.

Yeah, I could see intense light coming from the end of the quark, and blowing out smoke. I jump for the batteries plugs, I just froze at first, it was buring for roughly 2 seconds until I unplugged them. Who knows how many amps were going through the thing to burn that up so intensely.

I wonder what it actually was that was burning, a flame, or plasma?
