My micro-controller on the STM32 Nucleo-F446RE development board starts heating up as soon as I connect it to my laptop. Does the heating of the controller means that the board is now damaged?

I tried changing the data cable but it didn't work. Also all the jumpers are connected in the same position I received it. I have not altered any connection on the board and also never connected any peripheral to the board.

That's not normal.

Generally indicative of an internal short, or a regulator failure.

If you have a multi-meter you could check voltages.
