My arduino doesnt show up

my arduino uno refuses to show up under the ide or under device manager
i tried using my other one to burn the bootloader
it said it happened successfully
but it still doesnt show up
when i plug it in
the on led comes on
the one next to pin 13 does too
i tried to do the loop back test but i cant do anything since it isnt connecting to my laptop
also when its plugged to my laptop the small atmel chip next to the jp2 pins gets hot
is my uno like spoilt or is there smth i can do

Well, if the thing just heats up and does not show up on the com port its it most likely became a heater. What I do is order several MCU's because I end up burning up one or 2 here and there. Also, having a spare is useful in troubleshooting. Not much smth else you can do besides use it to stay warm.
