I watched 2 hours of Google Chromecast when my screen went pink. When I got up thinking I needed to cycle the power I was amazed to see the dongle had melted at the HDMI connector and was hanging at a 45 degree angle (I plug into a [REDACTED] receiver video controller). This dongle was still warm to the touch when I unplugged it.
