Ya know, kids, is it entirely possible some kind of intermittant contact
occurs in the battery bay? Like the bandaid fix for the 3400s? I've not
encountered a 2400 I couldn't resurrect (sometimes it took the old
_take_it_all_apart_then_back_together fix... but I do this for a living
so the screw matrix doesn't bother me anymore). You folks who play with
these things daily -- notice any coincedence with your battery bay?
