[NTLK] What do I do now?

I think I'm sunk...

MP2000U, 4 MB flash card, lots of packages installed (~300K free
internally and 10K free on card)

I set my Newt to receive Simple Mail and go to make a coffee. I come
back to find that Newt has stopped downloading email with an out of
memory error. I start checking email and deleting unwanted MSG's (most
of them). After deleting each msg, I get an error message regarding
storage, 10606 or 10600, I don't remember. I decide that a reset may
help, so I close all open apps and eject my wifi card, then press reset
button. The screen goes blank... And that is it, nothing since that
moment. I've ejected my flash card, tried every form of reset listed in
the FAQ, opened and checked the ROM board... And the best I get is a
flicker of the screen unless I go for a hard reset, then I'm given the
choice of erasing all data. I haven't tried yes, since my last back-up
was Friday at noon. If I press no, the screen instantly blanks and I
get no further response.

I think I'm stuck, but I'll wait on the greater knowledge of this list
to see if there are any options left.

Thanks,
Dave
