I can confirm that putting an unexpectedly ejected battery back in whilst asleep caused my 2400c to immediately go GLOD. Chuck, how did you bring yours back to life after these events? I had to replace the CPU on mine. To prevent the battery ejecting unexpectedly now, I put a strip of clear tape over the latch and the problem hasen't reoccurred.
