Don,
I had a similar problem with a Newton that I bought at an auction. I
fiddled and fiddled with it but couldn't get it to turn on. I gave up on it
and almost gave it away then it suddenly started working. It's worked fine
ever since. If you find out about a jump startprocedure let me know.

drats... I finally dug out my Apple Newton 130 from
the move ephemera and
it's not working with a fresh battery(s) replacement. I know it worked when
packed 4 months ago and the batteries musta died in transit.
I remember seeing something about jumpstarting these things back to life
when left with dead cells for awhile but now can find nothing on the web...
My Newton 2100 sprang back to life immediately with the same set of
batteries that I'm trying to use in the 130...
Replaced batteries and even hit the recessed reset button in the battery
compartment. Nothing...
Can anyone help?
