 Seeing a hardware bug with my BTest2 laptop.  Machine is handed around
 quite a lot, don't know when precisely the damage occurred:

     * Battery latch (escape-button-side) is no longer springing back into
 place on release
           o Result is that when the latch is left "open" and the laptop is
 held in the air without support for the battery (i.e. when picked up) the
 laptop loses power and shuts down instantly.
     * Other battery latch is still springing back properly, flipping it
 back quickly dozens of times doesn't cause the spring to fail

 Obvious work-around is to manually shift the latch to the closed position
 after insertion, but children may not know to do that and may simply start
 losing their work as the machine shuts down instantly.
