Someone at work gave me their 120, along with the power adapter, 2 battery packs and a charger and the newton manual.
batteries charged up too!
i have to change to backup battery, and wanted to check with you guys before removing all the batteries.
i want to get rid of the previous user's info in one go, so i thought by removing all the batteries, that this should do the trick.
i tried the "hold down the on/off switch while pressing the reset button" to get rid of any info on the messagepad, but it did not work. i tried it several times..
Will complete removal of all batteries affect the newton from booting up properly?
i am assuming that the newton's OS is in ROM, and thus should not be affected by no power whatsoever.
this messagepad has OS 2.0 on it, and i am unsure if the messagepad 120 came with it, or the previous user upgraded to 2.0.
how did one upgrade to 2.0? did they have to replace a ROM chip?
any advice will be greatly appreciated
