I did that once (I was just off one prong) and the USB power started heating up the ETree instantly. I was holding it when it happened, so I was able to unplug it before it toasted.

Ya know - that is possible because I didn't notice any heat or smell when I pulled it from the buggy - but when I plugged it into USB I got the smell and heat pretty fast.
Didn't think a USB port could produce enough power to toast something that quickly.
There are a ton of pins on the back of that thing - very easy to not put the right plug in the right place.
