After Mr. Lotts and I tried replacing the regulator, we left it alone for a while.

Today, I tried testing our board again, and we got some jumping sparks from the pins of the regulator. This sort of thing didnt seem to happen with the original regulator. Im pretty sure its because the replacement one has to be lifted up off of the board, and attached with a few wires (since its beefier). After that, we imediatly shut it off, disconected the power... and backed away slowly.

Our team leader is suggesting we abandon this messed up board, and get a brand new one.
