Chip on Stalker VERY HOT....did I destroy it?

I think it’s not worth. Is it fair to start to resolder a brand new board that have a defect. More people have experienced this issue, and I have tried a couple of times to address the problem with seedstudio, but no one has bothered to answer yet.
I cannot figure out the problem, have tried most of the parameters in connection, as type of board, comm. port, speed and voltage logic (5 volt as in the datasheet) but the board still has a very hot IC and it is not possible to upload any code, receive the message, out of sync. Though for the first couple of times some test could be uploaded, as I said, I cannot figure out the problem.
There is no question, the board is defect and I believe it’s due for a replacement, which should part of a god service offer from the vendor (Seeedstudio).
I too look forward to a reply.
