[sdiy] up in smoke

[Tom Wiltshire]

I'd be worrying about what caused the chip to fry in the first place  
rather than about the smoke residue.

I've seen a lot of broken equipment, but I don't think I've ever seen  
a chip spontaneously burn out like you describe. I'd start hunting  
for other faults to see what caused it.
