Are you letting it sit through package activation? That could thwart
success pretty quickly...
Plug in newt. Get number 2 above. don't do anything to the newt for 30
or 40 seconds.
After dying due to battery too low, the newt has to reactiveate all the
stored packages in main memory and on inserted cards. This can take a
while, and while it's doing it, the newt is VERY SLUGGISH to the point
of almost unresponsive.
