I did experience a few problems with my SER-001. Do you have an interconnect
port adapter (AKA "the dongle")? This way, you could check if something is
wrong in your Newton before suspecting the hardware...

dangling pointer n.: [common] A reference that doesn't actually lead
anywhere (in C and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't actually
point at anything valid). Usually this happens because it formerly pointed
to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a
generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number
for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
