I don't know off hand were to get an exploded view of the internal of a
Newt, but there are MANY link to get pictures and I can always take a
few shots and upload them.
Does anyone have a link to pictures of a 2K? Particularly the power
switch?

Thanks Shawn, I tried all of those...I think it's a flaky connection
problem. BTW, in the HW FAQ, Victor Rehorst is providing a mirror of the
ftp.apple.com/... site to the MP/eMate basic manuals in .pdf format. Is
there a MP2K repair manual that shows a exploded view of the MP
available
for download anywhere?
Thanks for all the help thus far...
