I received a Newton H1000 in a big Mac haul from last week. It boots, the screen is crisp/bright, and it is in fairly good cosmetic shape (I like the rubber texture).
However, it does have a couple of issues. One- the Newton "Getting Started" card does not work. In the H1000, I get a dialog message that states that a card is not inserted, even though it is placed firmly in the PC-card slot. I tried it on my eMate 300, but it says "This unformatted card is write protected. To format the card remove it, unlock it, then reinsert the card." The second problem is the sound is very faint on the H1000. I am assuming this the cause of a failing/bad capacitor.
Thoughts?
PS- did the H1000 ever come with a backlight?
