The eMate doesn't have battery contacts like the Newton models. The
batteries and the ptc resistor
are soldered to 4 wires that end in a small female connector. This connector
fits into its male counterpart
inside the eMate.

power supply connected as well?

pretty clean (especially inside the Emate). Maybe the Emate has to be opened
to check this.
