Thanks for the suggestion, Digital Dan, but I'd tried that before, no
worky. Now I tried it again, after the MP 130 sat w/o batteries since
yesterday's attempt. Pull power switch, hit reset, wait 30 sec., release
both, flip Newt over - first attempt flashes black screen, second attempt
flashes screen labeled "Newton" with bulb-log. As soon as it appears it's gone.
Basically, it acts just as before it's gruendelization. Any other ideas?
Cheers,
