Don't say such things. A friend of mine had a failing harddisk... or so 
he thought. Turned out that the problem was a bunch of dust in the PSU 
that shorted a bit of the 12V rail. Dust can be fun.

Anyway, did you try to measure resistance between some parts? Like the 
battery and the case. Perhaps it's a board stand-off that has shifted 
and shorts an obscure part of the board?
