Other things to look for are broken backup battery door hinge, and
cracked front case where the rear case meets the main battery door.
Of 4 Aero 1500 (2 1530, 2 1550) I now have, only one almost unused one
does not have those defects. Since they are common failures it's good
they do not affect the functionality.

Main batteries are a bit elusive. I just bought 2 via eBay at $15
each including free shipping from Hong Kong. They were shipped by
www.espow.com but a search of that site does not show them available.
The batteries appear to be their own brand and not the Cameron Sino
brand that I have had sucess with before. Maybe they used eBay to
clear out their remaining stock. We'll see how they last.
