Hi flash master!

Flashed my ajbr20 and almost everything is fine, except switching of with
charger.
 From readme.txt:
"- The behavior with plugged charger differs from original: the box starts
when you plug it in (no charging screen), and you can't power it off while
the charger is plugged in."
Trying to power off brings up this message:
ATA error: -31
Press ON to debug

After doing this, the i/o port debug window appears. Hitting OFF again,
throws a:
*PANIC*
ata: -31

Additionally the red led is flashing slowly. Without the charger,
everything is great.
