Well, there is a really good chance that your card has
finally died. You may attempt to insert the card into
a Windows PC and user the PC card utilities to revive
the card. I remember doing something similar to a Type
1 card years ago with some Phoenix driver sets...A
bunch of DOS utilities...
If this doesn't fix the card (and it probably won't)
then you're SOL...that's just it...these cards just
die and it seems the larger the storage capability of
the card the greater the chance of dying! For some
reason, they seem to be more sensitive to
corruption...
As for draining the batteries on your newt, I believe
that there was a battery app written by someone on the
list that does just this...Note though, the MP2k only
has the main battery pack, there is no backup battery,
just a super-cap that stores energy for an extended
period of time.
