I suspect in your case a new PRAM battery will be helpful, and all but
eliminate your problems. What you describe isn't really an "of death"
syndrome, but rather pretty much what's supposed to happen when the 2400
can't retain it's Power Manager code. There probably isn't any underlying
hardware issue (save the incipient ones that I believe may affect all 2400s,
but you can't do much about that).
