Re: "RC Hardware" light: +5V failure

The internal +5 volt regulator is self protected for over current and over temp. Usually letting it cool for fifteen to thirty minites will heal that problem. Then you must find the short on the +5 volt rail. Start by removing all inputs and outputs and then put them back one at a time while monitoring the +5. All will be revealed.
