Yep

This shouldn't cause any problem on GTA02 (on GTA01 there were some scream of 
death issues when removing bat while charged IIRC). At least we have no 
reports on this so far, I myself do remove bat while on charger frequently - 
no harm.

Well a device not starting on a full battery is to be considered broken and 
should be sent in for repair. My 2 cent.

Of course you could check NOR, 'cause it'll not stat with bad NOR. But you're 
supposed to not be able to break NOR without debug-board. So no use in trying 
to get one, if you don't have already.
