finding rational points on an elliptic curve

Consider the following elliptic curve

y2=(x+1540)(x508)(x65024).

It is trivial that the points P1(1540,0), P2(508,0) and P3(65024,0) lie on this curve. It is also quite easy to find four other integer points P4(508,262128), P5(508,262128), P6(130556,33552384) and P7(130556,33552384).

I want to find some other rational points on this curve. If one uses the usual group law we obtain that for every 1ij7 we have Pi+Pj=Pk for some 1k7. Thus we fail to obtain any new points.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
