I've had an MB burn up two RasPi's.  Same symptoms - way too hot with way too much voltage into the Pi.  I'm betting it's the square chip slightly above the mini-USB connector - RG2 - that's doing the heating up.  That's the chip that got so hot on mine - so hot it heats up everything around it.  Two fried PIs...

Ah yes I remember you mentioned something about this in the past.  What did you end up doing?  I emailed Dave to see what he can do about the board and RPi


I also lost an rpi, it was cooked dead, wont power up by any means.  I had a spare pi but no spare M-board. running almost 2 days now on backup. I have reached out to MBP about this and am still waiting for response. I also have more rpi on the way, just in case.
