Provided he also has a power _on_ problem, that is. If he can switch the Newton
on reliably with the switch, and if he can switch the backlight on and off with it
as well, it can't be the switch.
I'd rather expect some software that ran amok in its poweroffscript. This should
be curable by a hard reset, or maybe by disabling programs at power on.
