Galileo is robust

izardIntel Galileo is powered by a 5V DC. One of the Galileo boards on my work desk is sitting next to NUC, which is powered by 19V DC. Unfortunately the power plug is the same, so once I mixed them up and tested if Galileo works when plugged to 19V.
It does! It booted OK so I noticed something wrong only after it hanged after 5 minutes of operation. I wanted to press a reset button, but when I tried the device was really hot! Now it works almost OK, but there is a lasting damage. RS232 output sometimes stops working on this board, I guess voltage conversion to 8V was damaged.
