In separate unrelated incidents, I managed to blow up both my high end PICS today.
Turns out the 2.5V device doesn't like 17V.

Yesterday I had bypassed the analog front end of my diy PicScope and had forgotten that I did so.
Today I put the probe on a 12V signal and......pooffff ;)

The other one, not totally sure what happened.
I have a high power IR LED being driven at 17V.
I think as I moved the PCB the pin of the LED (on the end of a wire) must have touched the VDD pin, because that one really did go pop.
Can't beat the smell of fried silicon.
It also temporarily removed the finger print from my left index finger :D

Nothing worse than slipping and hearing a pop noise. I have done that with a multimeter probe lol
