Try what I describe in detail here:
http://www.pda-soft.de/130_disassemble.html
Following these instructions exactly has brought a fair amount of Newtons
back to life. When I say "exactly", I mean exactly.
If after doing this the Newton will still not power on, there is
a hardware problem. Unless the contrast wheel is set to the lowest position and
you have turned all sound off in your preferences, that is.
Mail me privately if you can't resurrect it, I might be able to help you.
But don't get your hopes up too high, 130's frequently die out of the blue
for no apparent reason.
