Have you tried another microphone capsule to see if it's that or the
digitising HW on the Newt? Any 2-wire mic from another piece of equipment
will probably yield something just to prove the circuit.
You should observe the same polarity as the original (one lead will connect
to the can) and keep the soldering time to a minimum.
There are some tiny mic capsules available inexpensively from electronics
stores that might be a good fit in the Newt case.
Joel.
