This too is mentioned inthe FAQ. As a matter of fact,
it is number 1 in the top 5 questions!:

The number one solution is to remove all cards and
power from the Newt and let it sit over night. Then in
the morning, make sure there are fresh batteries or
you have a wall plug-in and power the Newt back on.
Don't put the cards back in in case there's a PKG on
the card causing a problem.
This usually solves the problem.
