It's difficult to imagine how the underlying fault here is anything other than a latch-up[1] event, likely manifesting on a upstream controller/supervisory chip in the power distribution chain.

The description of this "flea power" reads like some cargo cult narrative that summarily conflates a handful of disjoint electrical characteristics/phenomena. It's like the modus operandi of interwebs consumerism.
