If you are talking a bright violet light, then there is a good possibility it is dead. If you flip the recovery switch and get the same result and you are absolutely sure the adapter and d0 are fine then X.R.I.P

Can you boot just the chip? Not quick or instant boot. Just try to boot to the Xenium OS.

The purple light thing is most likely a white light, with no green. . . which leaves the red and blue lights on, which creates magenta (purple-pink).

So it may just be a faulty led thing, and coincidentally, something else is making the box frag.

Check all the points, uninstall the chip and unscrew the adapter and start over, just to test.

Taking the chip off completely will give you an indication if it is the chip or if the problem is somewhere else in your box.

Try booting without your chip on the solderless adapter.
