Well I loaned out my Lazy Sprocket and it came back not working. The LED no longer lights up and all in get when engaged is a hum. Bypass works fine. Looking for some hints on where to look in the circuit if someone maybe connected the wrong power supply to the pedal. My only other guess is maybe the person pushed the board down and shorted the back of the LED. This is an older pcd where the LED is in the center of the pedal. Any pointers would be helpful.

Note: I noticed my wallwart power supply heated up really fast when connected.

Whoever you loaned it to probably plugged in an AC voltage power supply and fried it. Your power supply heating up means there is short somewhere. You're probably gonna have to take the pedal apart to find where the damage is.
