Check the condition of the port itself. Mine came unsoldered about 18 months
ago. Had to send it back to Apple for a Motherboard replacement. It was just
flopping around inside the case.

>
> I'm having difficulty with the dongle port on an UMP2k. It worked fine the
> last time I used NCU but I recently discovered a problem when I tried to use
> a keyboard. There is no connection happening at all now, either with a
> keyboard or with any connection software. The problem is not with the dongle
> itself or with the keyboard as both work fine on another UMP2K.
>
> Could this be a software issue?
> Will doing a brainwipe fix this?
> I am reluctant to try this approach as I have no way of backing up before
> doing it.
> Is it most likely a problem with the hardware of the Newton itself?
>
> Any help is greatly appreciated.
