Is it possible to fry an xlight?

I don't know how many of you have messed with an xlight, but here is my dillema: I recently installed and soldered an xlight to one of the 5v points in my box and grounded the neg wire to a screw hole. After this the thing lit up and all was well. But today when I turned on the box, nothing. I took it apart and everything was still connected. I tried to solder it to a different power source, nothing. I even tried using a hdd power supply splitter and placing the pos & neg wires in the corresponding locations on the 4 pin plug, and nothing. Is it possible to have connected it to to high a voltage supply on the motherboard that it shorted it out and fried the internal wiring? It baffles the mind, one minute working, next minute not. Any ideas?

ohh no! i jsut made a lil thingy for a customer, he said i want it too look like it has a modchip, but dont want a modchip, lol so i said ok. w/e. i hooked the x3 front thingy on, which is i think what you mean, i made it so that the x glowed blue and soldered it all up to 5v and ground, and all went well. hopefully i wont be getting a call from him saying why his lil x light thingy dont light up ne more o_0
