Oddly enough I found that I could change batteries on an I3700 while
suspended (suspend-to-ram, not to disk). I only found out by mistake
while showing the machine to a colleague of mine, and he accidentally
dropped the battery out of it. I slotted it back in again, opened the
lid, and the machine hadn't even noticed!
Perhaps it's the same on the I4000 ? - I haven't been daring enough to
try on the I4000, but no doubt some "friend" will provoke that scenario
again ...
