Help? Did I fry my chip?

GPS/GNSS Development Boards

I recently purchased a 32 Channel LS20031 GPS 5Hz Receiver to use on a high altitude balloon. When I was breadboarding, I stupidly plugged a

5 volt tx pin of the arduino into the tx pin of the gps (I know, I know). What happened, with the 5 volt pin plugged in, was that I when I plugged

the 3.3 volt power into the chip, the power indicator light would turn off, when I removed it, it would turn back on. Realizing that was odd,

I discovered my mistake.

Now, when I plug the chip in correctly, the arduino says that the device is drawing too much current and turns the serial port off. The power light

on the gps still turns on, but as of yet the chip has not locked again.

I was wondering if this is enough indication that the chip is fried. Is there anything else I could to make sure of this before buying a new chip?

Thanks for your help. This really bummed me out.

the chip is now locked and blinking. I think that that is a good sign. I believe I can take it from here, although at this rate, I am sure I will be back for more help.

thanks and sorry bout the wasted space.
