Support requests should be directed to the forums rather than via email. So you've come to the right place.

Do any of the LEDs light up on your Pi?
How are you powering your Pi?
Do you have any other devices plugged into the Pi?

That sounds like a short in the CPU. Send a note to [email protected] with a link to this thread and the folks there will arrange a replacement.
