[chirp_users] What did I do wrong? Bricked TH-9800
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?
OUCH!!!

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.
