This happened to me about two months after I got my Newton in 1997. I had to send it in for repair. The receipt said that the following was replaced:
       Part no. GELMBAAA
      description MLB

I don't know Apple's part numbers. Was this just the port or did they replace the entire mother board (MLB?)?
