I suggested it in the previous post...
This is a procedure that FLUSHES the FLASH to Factory... but you would
need to pop out the (D) ROM - yours is German I presume by your post
and install an (E) ROM English unit. This will flush the Flash which
may be corrupt and possibly (I think likely) clear up your issue...
however if you don't have one then your could use an eMate 300 ROM.

If you have any problems doing so you can call upon Frank or anyone
else in your vicinity with the needed equipment. If you were in the US
near NYC I'd gladly open up your unit and do so.. be fore warned that
there is no guarantee that a problem can occur and your unit will not
awake afterwards... I've done this personally (3) three times with no
ill-effect... but I can not guarantee this.. it is documented some
where...I forget the site ... it's the one with the Blinky install for
the Newton MP2x00 ... this is explained there regarding the steps and
hazards...
