No, nobody lives in the house except me and the microorganisms. Also, the device is sitting on its own shelf with nothing to the sides or top, so I don't think I cooked it. If it was the thermal protect, wouldn't I be able to expect that it would eventually cool down and then function again?

This has me confounded. Well, I guess I'll know soon enough, once I ship it back.

On another note, the megachanger came today, and the new 1050 didn't. Well, I guess I have to wait a few days to play with my toy.
