Were you running low on battery power at the time? I had that exact problem
when I first got my 2000. I had to learn not to let the batteries run down
too low, which happened extraordinarily fast when I had a modem sucking
power from them. Then the thing just refused to start up at all. I ended up
panicking and thinking maybe my Newton was bad, but it turned out that all I
had to do was pull all power for about 15-20 minutes and then restart. Now I
always keep my Newton plugged into the adaptor whenever possible and make
sure I change batteries the moment it tells me they're running low. I've
only had the problem happen one other time and I knew then what was wrong.
Sure enough, I had let the batteries run down too far.
