Yeah, without knowing how the power system is done i dunno either.
It could be the charging circuit going to max output to try and raise
the battery volts above the min level, (which of course it can't).
Whatever the cause, the scream is definitely coming from a coil or
inductor vibrating due to the attraction/repulsion between its own
magnetic field and the earth's. But which coil/inductor and what's
causing it to go into this state i dunno.

Hey Nick,
I've not looked at the electronics inside the neo myself but the sound
is typical in the electronics world of a switchmode power supply
under grate strain.
The reason is a bit more banal. (AFAIK)
The scream has just the frequency how much the main cpu can boot and
detect that there is no battery and reset. (something like that)
Probably not a good thing for the components, but not a result of any
stress to the power drivers.
But maybe it results in stress for them...
Don't know. Better avoid it. :)
