Much appreciated, although I do dispute that blew up mine :-) All I did was
to connect the same PSU,
mouse, keyboard and monitor that I have used all along for my Pi 2 and it never
really worked properly,
as related elsewhere.
If you've now picked up your copy of MagPi, you'll see what I meant when I
mentioned the method of
delivery. My Pi 2 arrived (as I would have expected) in an ESD bag, whereas
the Zero was glued to the
front of the mag, totally unprotected. The first thing I did when I got my
Zero was to put it in a bag
(after I had picked off the glue). I also use a static mat and wristband when
doing anything more than
just connecting it up or inserting the SD card.

I gather Clive has communicated to you separately.
