If you let the Newton drains the battery completely, it goes into something like a "deep coma". The only way to awake it is to remove all batteries and let the unit for a couple of
hours. Put back a new set of batteries and try to power on. This is, BTW, all documented in the FAQ. Check it out at <http://www.info-newt.com/faq/index.html>.
Also, I would advise you against using the backlight to drain the battery. The backlight decreases in efficiency over the time, so using it to drain the battery is, IMHO, not a good
idea. Try to use a modem to connect to the Internet instead if you absolutely need to drain the battery. However, as you have seen, draining the battery in a Newton has some
drawbacks...
