Ya know - that is possible because I didn't notice any heat or smell when I pulled it from the buggy - but when I plugged it into USB I got the smell and heat pretty fast.

Didn't think a USB port could produce enough power to toast something that quickly.

There are a ton of pins on the back of that thing - very easy to not put the right plug in the right place.
