Letting the smoke out

Picked up male and female dsub sockets and a socket case to build a bankstick. Checked out the very simple schematic and wired it all up but when connecting it oo the core module its not detected.
Checked the wiring, which I thought I may have gotten wrong. Swapped around a couple of the wires and tripple checked it, it now matches the scmematic exactly.
Plugged it in and nothin.......... until there was a pretty identifieable smell and the Dsub case got very hot.... and smoke came out....
Opened up the D-sub case and it had gotten hot enough to melt the solter on the EEPROM pins... thats hot.
Quadruple checked, yep, its all wired up exactly as the scematic, its only 5 wires to ground and then 3 more than are actually in use so its not like its complex.
I have a feeling that the eeprom is well and truely fried now anyway, I have got another 8 but they were supposed to be for the MB_6582 but I guess I can get some more.
Just picked up a couple of IC sockets for the EEPROMs so I can build one with a socket rather then soldering directly to the EEPROM, so will see how that goes.

Also, the LCD arrived from Crystalfontz USA, in like 3 days! They sent it international priority at thier cost, which is about $35US, so awesome service.
Wired it up and it worked a treat, looks great too..
