Alex,
My suggestion is that if the replacement backlight is an OEM Apple
(Used or New if there are such animals still) is to plug it directly
to your Newton after removing the back cover of your MP2x00 - this is
a simple procedure...
If it is one of the new replacements with out the wires soldered on
then your in need of some technical advice regarding voltage which
I'm not aware of.... I think it might have been discussed on a variant
thread but I don't recall where or when....
