I got to page 16 in the manual, the servo was working fine and then just stopped. I touched it and it was burning hot. I removed the power, let it cool down and tried it again. It is dead as dirt!
I just got the starter kit last Friday, how can I get the servo replaced? Thanks

Hi,
I purchased this starter kit, the $85 dollar one. I have the link below
http://www.adafruit.com/products/170
Page 16 references setting up the servo on pin9 and watching it wipe from side to side. It worked for a good 5 minutes before stopping.

OK. I believe that the ARDX starter kit comes with a micro-servo like this one: http://www.adafruit.com/products/169

Re: Servo Died
I ordered four of the same kind of micro-servo and two of them won't move. The other two I ordered work perfectly.
