Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. I've been using an MP2000 for
nearly four years and I've been in digest mode on this list just about the
whole time. For the first time in all that time my Newt's gone on the blink.
Literally.
It now will only turn on with the power plugged in, and all it does then is
blink the backlight.
I've researched as best I could on the 'net and through the archives and
have done the following to try to revive my MP:
-- Left it for days with no power supply, then re-booted from mains.
-- Opened it up and re-seated the ROM. Twice.
Neither of these has helped.
I've recently bought another MP2000 (upgraded to 2100) from eBay here in
Australia, and was planning on simply swapping the ROMs around, just so that
I can get all my info onto a back-up card to transfer over to the new Newt,
but a friend suggested this might be dangerous because whatever is wrong
with my Newt may damage the working ROM.
Suggestions anybody?
Tim
