   Ok, I'll take a look. It's possible the contacts have some sort of   
   corrosion, or perhaps I've even put it in upside down.

   Interesting, I'll keep that in mind. I guess I could just turn on the DC   
   from time to time, just to charge the battery for a short while. Hell,   
   even the occasional playthrough of Hydro Thunder should do it.   
      
   Thanks for the help! :)
