Heh. No. You should have refused to work on it.

Indeed. I'm amazed at how many people won't deal with their own misteaks.

Well, it's within their rights to make life inconvenient for
customers, yes. But that aside, they refuse to sell them to service
providers, presumably including you, since you have to build them.
THAT's what I find really absurd here.
>and getting the battery out requires the COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY OF THE 2400.
Indeed, that's one of the most stupid bits of design I've ever seen.

Hmm, do you mean to suggest that some other problem is being commonly
misdiagnosed as a PRAM battery, and you're getting machines that have
failed in other ways?
