Gyro Smoking

We opened up the Basic Main code and ran it on the cRIO and less than 30 seconds later, the gyro burst into smoke.

It is extremely hot to the touch and the chip fell off of the circuit board. Our electrical guys have no idea why this happened and we can't give them a logical answer besides it was plugged in wrong which they say it wasn't. Any ideas?

We have used this same gyro in past years and it has worked without problem
