thanks, now add some detail so others can help
what expansion board? how did you connect 12v? (servos can't take 12v)
This the expansion board the servos are connected on the yellow pins and 12v is connected on the input
is this part burnt / melted?
as near as I can tell that board is using the 5v regulator on the Nano to power the servos
maybe you can power one or two servos that way

Only the arduino nano got burned
Yes i am powering 2 servo
So what am i doing wrong
you need to not power the servos with the Nano
Uh what should i do exactly
in future use external power for things like motors, solenoids and servos.
you cannot power high current devices from an Arduino board.
I just didnt use the adapter anymore
Only usb from pc now working fine
And thanks for the help
