260E , 1989 (for now)
If you are talking about the parts located behind the battery, what you describe is the OVP relay. (Over Voltage Protector).
This relay protects the various components from damages resulting from electrical current spikes (over voltage).
It has a very bad reputation and is frequently wrongly accused of being the cause of sorts of problems, from poor handling to bad breath.

I think what he's trying to say is that since the OVP regulates the flow of electricity to the computer, it can cause any number of elcetrical porblems.
