I had a similar experience with the same model. Like you I think it
was coincidental and had nothing to do with chirp. I chalked it up to
static discharge.

The charging system has some inherent protection, but I don't know
about the serial port. Also, the (deserved!) popularity of chirp may
make a it seem like there are more chirp-based issues when
proportionally, they are the same.
