Thank you all for your suggestions. I have removed and reseated the ROM card to no avail. I hadn't thought of the alcohol. I will give that a shot. Is anyone here good with a multitester? Maybe someone could help me with what actual circuit board components I should test first? The board must...

What I meant by cleaning the whole board was that I used a soft toothbrush with a little water. I did let it dry completely and even used a hair dryer on the low setting to make sure every part was dry, but alas, it still does the same thing. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hey fellow Newtonians! I need your help in fixing my eMate! The short of the story... I had it sitting in a chair under my dining room table. I had tomato's sitting on the table, and one of them rottened and leaked slightly. A few drops found its way into the eMate. I didn't know this until I...

I'm REALLY angry right now! Today, I decided to open up the case of my Indigo iMac (Summer 2001) to dust it out. Imagine my shock and horror when I got the outer front faceplate off (where iMac is printed below the tube), the CHEAP AS HELL plastic had cracked in several different places!!! Sorry...

Here's an update... I cracked it open... 1 of the IC's was cocked a pretty good bit out of its socket. Even when I pushed it in and checked the rest of them, STILL no joy. I left it on for 10 or 15 minutes, none of the IC's got hot, so I don't think any of them are bad. I even tried a different...

Hey Bunsen... I'm sorry... I'm in the states (South Carolina). :-( Do you have a diagnosis or is she terminal? :-(

Hey there everyone... It's been a while since I've posted. I wanted to say to those who've PM'ed me, I will follow-up with you in time. My mind's been all over the place as well as my emotions... That's a story for The Lounge, which I'll post later... At our local flea market, I found a VIC-20...

I think that card, from the research I've done on the eMate, is the ROM card, and the blank slot is where the upgrade goes. Another thing I found out that I need to address in one of my follow-up articles on the eMate is if you get a memory upgrade that NewerTech made, one may have to resolder...

Pretty cool, but I'm with MacMac and LC... I acquired a eMate 300 of my own through a trade recently, and I wrote an article about it, which you can read here: My great new writing machine: An old Newton eMate 300 I LOVE the eMate! MacMan and all other eMate 300 owners here, does your eMate...

<> Amen on both accounts! The Extended series and especially the Model M's are truly legendary for their tactile feel! :-D

Hey wacky... I saw that article! It was truly a wonderful read! :-)

Hey Scott... Yeah, I actually have it hooked up to a spare 13" TV I have here. I was just trying to actually find a monitor if someone had one. :-)

My latest conquest is my most treasured... John (co-host of the RetroMacCast) found an Apple IIe and sent it to me. It was just the system and the DuoDisk drive along with some floppies... I'm REALLY REALLY happy! I haven't used one since 1993... I remember such classics as Word and Number...
