I've never had this with mine but I'd suggest signing up here: http://www.newtontalk.net/ If one of these guys can't help then I'd be surprised.

I have been using my Newton at least once a week (usually during the boring weekly tech report meetings of endless powerpoinr slides of tedium). I love my Newton 2000 but this Mon…

Make sure it is not less than 75%. Go for 90% to 99%. Make sure the percentage is listed on the bottle because they will try to sell ya the weak crap if they can. The higher the …

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have removed and reseated the ROM card to no avail. I hadn't thought of the alcohol. I will give that a shot. Is anyone here good with a mult…

A good spraying of freon could be helpful in removing any remaining tomato residue and all the dried up conductive minerals left behind from the water and possible residual toothpa…

It might be worth while paying some attention to the ROM card under the rear cover. Is it seated properly?

make sure it has an internal 6 pin FireWire port, then you know it is a Sawtooth. Oh, and the GBE models have a tall rough silver coloured heatsink on a chip behind the ethernet po…

Thanks ealex79, I just replied to your PM. We are referring to a hybrid system folder that was constructed using Mac OS 8.6 off an iMac restore CD and ROM 2.5.1. I'm certain that…

What I meant by cleaning the whole board was that I used a soft toothbrush with a little water. I did let it dry completely and even used a hair dryer on the low setting to make su…

I think perhaps we need more detail on what you mean by "cleaned the whole board"

Did you get my PM? Did the stuff I sent you work/helped?

Hey fellow Newtonians! I need your help in fixing my eMate! The short of the story... I had it sitting in a chair under my dining room table. I had tomato's sitting on the table, a…

Mike, I have completely dismantled a G3 AIO before. It took me a couple of hours, and is kind of a pain, but it can be done. The nice part is the analog board slides out after yo…

If anyone needs ROM 2.5.1 or an ISO image for an entire G4 system restore CD with Mac OS 8.6, please PM me and I will be happy to provide you with the links. The ISO is about 380M…

Congrats on fixing it, Mike! Capacitors commit suicide more often than do resistors, so you likely have truly fixed the problem, and can look forward to it working for a good long …

For a long time Apple would replace or repair those failed B&W CRTs. A 2-3 years back a friend of mine called about it, as he had read something on Apple Discussions or in …

PM sent. Let it charge at least 4 hours. It still could have a capacity and internal drop problem, but a full charge will give it the best chance of running the machine. My unde…

But before that, it would not hurt to leave it plugged in even if not properly recognized and see if it gets any gradual charging over several days time-perhaps the gas gauge is ju…

Should the machine show a menu bar symbol that it is plugged in? I seem to remember one on another machine that I ran OSX on. What are the symptoms of a bad power board?

The batteries age by increasing their internal impedance (voltage drop under load) as well as by capacity (amp-hours) loss. They can show a fairly full gas gauge (reasonable no lo…

I am typing this on the G5. After about three hours today, and an hour yesterday, plus two hours at Fry's (They only had one capacitor. The guy had to find the other one. I also ha…

Try the battery in the right hand expansion bay with the machine first running on AC also, and again ignore the status icon and just pull AC power to see if the Lombard switches ov…

So your able to fix it? BTW that quicksilver rocks! Thanks again.
