Yes, that is always a bad thing to plug in anything while powered up.  Now that the magic smoke has escaped you will not be able to get it back in.

So I let the smoke out of my TYT TH-9800 when connecting it to program
using CHIRP. I had previously programmed it with CHIRP with no problems.
However, this time I wasn't paying attention and left the radio on when
I plugged in the USB cable. It instantly shut down and there was a wisp
of smoke from the back of the radio.

What did I do wrong? Plug it in while powered on?
