Well, I pulled the lithium cell and let it sit out over night. Reassembled the thing, but no change. So I've got this free battery offer if anyone needs it. It's actually for an Extensa 4420. <br>I needed a new machine anyway : > )<br>

If you are unable to physically pull the battery out, perhaps use a slip<br>
of paper between the battery and one of its contacts to simply break the<br>
electrical circuit for the same 15min?<br>
