Ok i switch transistors to the BC548 Small Signal Transistors NPN 30V 100mA HFE/8 and almost burned my skin off!!!! (it got REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY hot)
And yes i hooked it up correctly. It was backwards from what the other transistor was (CBE). So what did i do incorrectly with that??? When i was checking the volts, it had 0.70v on the base with the 5v connected... but then i started smelling "The smell" and yeah, thats when i almost burned my finger off.
