The 110/120/130 devices had a switch built into the case that was pressed
by a plate on the rechargable battery pack. This switch can be pressed by
wrapping the two centre cells with a piece of tape.
The 2000/2100 devices do not have this sort of switch.
Your someone was correct. Just the details are not applicable.
