Yes,
Before you go about all this surgery... try a few things as a test...
1. set the newt on a table & try using it, without holding or
touching the newt body at all. Just to see if it is a loose
connection that is being agitated during hand-holding use - had that
happen once.
2. swap out batteries with new, fresh batteries. Sometimes these
batteries, I have found, have poor endurance & they drop when a
sudden power draw is about. Remember, that newt likes to be in
power-save mode & it may draw mA's fine till it really starts some
happening that needs power.
3. try again on table using tap method & no-touch with these new batteries.
4. hold the newt & try wiggling the newt body a bit while it is
running and see if it powers off suddenly
let me know what happens, step by step, ok?
