I got an OMP (MessagePad 100) w/o a battery plastic thing, so I tried to use a power adapter, I used a PSone power adapter (7.5a - 2a) and the screen glitched. Was it the power adapters or something else?

OMP glitching?

just a bump
I did hear that some people were reporting issues with capacitors on the earlier Newtons, not sure which as I have no recent experience. Just something to be aware of.
Really? can you send me a link or somewhere where I can find how to do this?
I actually also posted this on Reddit and they said it might be the LCD ribbon cable has corrosion.
Afaik, the MP 100 needs to have the battery pack installed to function, even on a charger.
There's a switch that is depressed when the pack is installed.
It's probably detailed in the User Manual.
It also needs to have a good backup battery installed.
I cracked open the battery pack on my MP100. It looks like it could be rebuilt with new rechargeable AAA's.
I haven't gotten around to finishing the job.

i agree with that, but the switch can be fooled.
Can't find information anymore but IIRC a special cradle was supplied for using standard batteries , you can rebuild the battery pack with Nicd units:

Yes, it can be. Yes, there was a battery thing to hold AAA batteries in the Newton 100, that's what I need, idk if I can rebuild one of the rechargeables
Actually, now that i've spoken to a friend with basically the same problem, it might be the capacitors
can anyone recap my newton for me?
