A difference is normal but if you haven't done the hinge repair
assume that it is failing.
see Frank's site <http://www.pda-soft.de/emate_disassemble.html>

You cannot copy a file from the card to the internal memory and leave
it on the card, but you could move files in question to emate. Then
back up internal memory to card and move files back to card, then
restore from the backup.
The Newt will restore the files in question and freeze them, since
you cannot have the same file open in two or more stores.
