Put the battery in *after* you switched the Newton on (powered
by the ac adapter). If it doesn't charge, turn the Newton off, remove
the pack and repeat. Often it will eventually start charging. If it
doesn't after 10 or so tries, you are probably out of luck.
All this assumes that the ac adapter's voltage is correct. Measure
it with a multimeter while it isn't powering anything. It should be
7...7.5 volt. Never more, if less you will have a problem charging.
