Loose Batteries at DVinfo.net

Hi,

Some months ago I started having a problem where, when moving the camera around, the battery would come loose and the camera would suddenly shut off. This happened to all my batteries at once, and I decided it was a camera problem. The little latchy thing is way deep in the battery compartment, and not particularly accessible. I jiggled it around and got some alcohol and a Q-tip and did some rudimentary cleaning, but couldn't solve the problem.

I ordered a new battery, and it stays in no problem - doesn't jiggle loose.

Is there any way to solve the battery jiggle? It doesn't come so loose it falls out, just lose enough to momentarily lose power and screw whatever clip you're currently recording.
