I'm only guessing, but if it were the Gnd, VCC or Xtal wires that were
'crossed' the Newt wouldn't work at all. That leaves just the Power-on and
Cpu active wires. However, if they were crossed... well it might behave
very funky.
Actually the only thing I can think of as far as incorrect installation that
would cause your problem is if the wire that is soldered to the plug for the
power switch (pwron / J1), was soldered to the wrong wire (i.e. to the black
one instead of the red one). Then the Implant would not be able to see any
switch activity at all, and therefore would never know to shift speeds.
If that wire is in the right position, though, then I'd say it's a problem
with the Implant itself.
If you want to try another switch, disconnect the J1 wire. Send it to one
pin of a pushbutton switch, and from the other pin of the pushbutton switch,
run a wire to ground.
