The Turbo dog software suffers from self-corruption, you can try using Total Commander on the device to copy to a storage card, but the files are probably lost. You don't need any files on residentflash to run other software anyway.

Sounds like a faulty battery to me although it could be a faulty/broken pcb as well.
