Oh, Oh, bad news.
But you did not answer my question if you isolated the Implant to the logic
board - I mean if you put something non-conductive inbetween the Implant PCB
and the logic board?
If not you have surely caused an short cut on the logic board which caused
serious damage.
For instance I could imagine that the oscillator circuit on the logic board
is damaged - so the Newt will not have any clock ...
I would recommend to get some of the cheap and worn Newts for $55 and
replace the logic board. But this should be done by somebody with
experience.
If you cannot find somebody near to you I am willing to help you (I have
already done that a few times). The bad thing is the shipping costs to
Europe and back (I assume that you are located in the U.S.)

Johannes
