Yeah, this is possible it happened to me on the original firmware -- I haven't seen the issue since.

To solve for me; basically I had to use the "flasher" tool to put it into its alternate state (which apparently isn't as picky about the voltage) and then the device booted up and allowed it to charge. Then I switched off the alternate state and it was fine. I've read others have used a second battery and/or a battery charger with this issue. I believe the issue was fixed in the second firmware.
