Raspberry pi Pico possible DOA

[simopcools9]

I was excited to receive my raspberry pi pico today in the mail
Upon plugging it in I was met with no LED, no signs of life, and after some investigation, a IC on the board that heated up enough to mildly burn my thumb while holding down the BOOTSEL button while plugging in

please excuse this excerpt from the Adafruit discord

```so, I am really starting to get bummed out, I think my Raspberry pi pico came DOA
I am pretty sure that I didn't do anything stupid to it
hooked it up with a micro USB cable to my computer, with both regular boot and "BOOTSEL" depressed
no LED, dead, no sign of life whatsoever
continuing I went and used a computer power supply breakout to apply 5v to the Vbus and gnd rails via the GPIO pins
still dead, no lights
I'm a little dejected and I am afraid I'll have either a dead device or have RMA headache
I know it's just a little pico, but it's a lot of money for me in the current economy 😹
I even changed the breadboard I socketed it into to test```

Please advise, as I am feeling kind of down and out about this

HOT ic in question is the pictured 1p139-0Q250v
