Hey All, Thanks for the help. It turns out I bought 2x of these crappy adapters on Amazon ( i could get in 1 day ). I ended up checking out the other adapter. It was pumping out 13v that should be 5v! I am lucky I started with the other one. I could have hooked up the scope to check this out but I have decided you guys are most likely 100% correct. I am not even going to risk the "good" 5.25v one on my bone. I ordered some quality adapters from adafruit.
Thanks for the quick reply guys!
