I may have only had this device for a week but in all my years of IT I've found that making changes to a system and then shutting down before the changes fully initialize can kill almost anything.
Oh, silly me. You are a lot more observant than I.

I can only repeat what deadgloves said:
Don't turn it off before you disconnect it.
