marshall monitor upside down for M2 and battery

[robot909]

I'm using the marshall 7" monitor modified for the panasonic batteries, but when used upside down with the M2, the battery tends to fall out.

I just use the good 'old gaffer's tape, but are wondering if anyone came up with a better solution.

I was thinking about some sort of "release button" that would hold the battery in place, and release it when needed...

I've got the same setup. WHen I asked them about it they basically told me it's not their problem and that I ought to use a velcro stip to hold the battery in place.

I have had this set up since May, and I've been thinking of a way to fix this problem. I came up with a solution but have yet to do it. It involves flipping the battery plate. I plan to do it this week. I'll post pictures once done. First I will drill a single hole centered in between the two other holes on the glued on plastic piece of the battery plate. Next I will glue or screw a small metal right angle piece inside the monitor right where the top center screw would go once the plate is flipped. That small piece will have a hole drilled in it with a nut glued on the back of it. In the end the plate will have only two screws holding it on instead of three, but I think that will be fine. Sorry if this is hard to visualize. I'll post pictures soon.
