Hey guys!
My OMP/H1000 is dead in the water - it /was/ working for quite a while until its batteries died (I used high-performance alkalines) and I simply left them in there for a week or two until I got replacements (I ended up purchasing Varta NiMHs because I can recharge them and they're known good) ...
So I put in the battery holder, with its new batteries, and it's simply refusing to turn on. I know the batteries are good, as is the backup cell. I took the MP partly apart to see if I could spot any glaring problems, but the board looks in perfect condition as far as my untrained eyes can tell.
Can anyone offer some suggestions? I don't have any contact cleaner to spray all over it, but I should probably get some in the interest of keeping this Newton alive as long as possible - so for the meantime, simple stuff that I might have overlooked that may just fix it?
