As you've already found out, this indicates a memory hardware failure.
Although
I doubt it'll help in your case, you might want to let your Newton
undergo the
reset sequence I describe here
http://www.pda-soft.de/2x00_disassemble.html
EXACTLY as I describe it. EXACTLY as in "do not do ANYTHING
differently".
If, after having undergone this, your Newton's backlight still flashes,
your
Newton has a hardware defect. If you can't fix it, you are welcome to
send it
my way. List members only pay for sending it back at cost if I can't or
you
don't want me to fix it.
