Had the same problem with my 1400. I couldn't pick it up with my left hand without it just dying. Turned out that the battery contacts on the logic board had become weak with age. I had to carefully bend them so they put more pressure on the removable battery contacts. Now the slight chassis flex doesn't disconnect the battery. I wish all my repairs were this easy!!!
