Do you have any idea what you did before?
Maybe you tried to install a system patch?
I had a device where most probably a system patch was residing in the memory
which corrupted the complete system in a very similar way as you describe.
The only way I know to really clear the COMPLETE memory of te Newt is to
exchange the ROM board with one haveing a different version and/or language
and then you can insert back the original one.
From what you report the realy basic functions like screen output and pen
recognition seem to work.
Dumb question: I assume you have of course removed ALL PCMCIA cards???
Cheers
Johannes
