I'll jump in here and discuss the older Power Pillow bug.  It's actually quite
simple.  The plastic battery holder has weak ends which tend to crack at the
corners.  The ends tend to bow, too.  Best solution is to wrap the box with
3/4" strapping tape.  Start by "stretching real hard" long pieces of strapping
tape over the ends and down the sides--real hard means put some effort into
it!!  Next, wrap the entire box, once around, with strapping tape.  The tape,
properly stretched, will add the necessary support for the pressure of the
batt's and spring.  Also, clean your terminals inside the PP.  -Rick-
