Warning. Don't remove battery with usb power

[Tim Knapp]

Hi Ben,

Yeah I've done this *once* and it freaked me out. I'm still a bit
concerned I've caused some permanent damage on my Neo as I've had
problems booting images on the nand ever since but sdcard images work
fine - jury is still out on that one.

Thanks,
Tim
