I did this, and the Newton was running and the CPU, Voyager and SER
board and everything else was cold as usual. My Newton has been
continuously running since and it is still cold.

It works fine. Nothing seems damaged, my Newton is fully functional.

Thanks for your help, Johannes. Everything is back to normal, which
is rather weird (I recall now why I am rather a software guy).
