NotEnufCash Starting Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted - 30 May 2002 : 11:24:30 I just got off the phone with Apple Canada looking for parts for my Newton. They informed me that they had no parts on hand but I could phone the fulfillment center. Now I had a number for the fulfillment center (probably the US one) which was 1-888-273-3594. That number now connects me to some weight loss hotline No good. The number Apple Canada gave me is 1-800-379-7934. That's a parts center all right but they told me the part numbers I have are wrong. I can't for the life of me find the "right" part number anywhere! Does anybody have the correct Part #s for these items and/or another number for a fulfillment center I can call? The parts are: Battery Pack, Rechargable, NiMh 922-2968 (MP2k NiMH) Battery Tray, Alkaline 922-3307 (MP2k) Cable, Adapter, Message Pad 2000 / 2100 to DIN-9 922-2971 Cover, Flip 922-3306 (MP2k lid/door!) Keyboard 661-0963 Stylus, Pkg. of 5 922-2969 (MP2k) I'd appreciate any help anybody can offer. OH! I also need to find where my serial number is on my Newton. I figure it should be on the back somewhere but the only number I can find is at the bottom of the label, just beside the text that says 'Reset' That number is 825-4239-A Could that be my serial number? If not how/where can I find the actual serial? BTW, this is where I originally found the list of part #s that Apple says is wrong. Private NoCash Localtalk Engineer 2nd Class 68ks Liberated: Ummm...

Really all I'm looking for is the pack of stylus' since mine's an ugly aftermarket one, the adapter so I can start transferring stuff, and maybe a new battery depending on the price. Mine seems to be going downhill pretty quick. One a related note, how long is a new battery supposed to last? I rarely use the backlight or the modem since I've heard they'll suck a ton of power... I found a old ad for the 2x00 series that says it should have a 3 to 6 week battery life off a set of AAs. Does anybody see that kind of life?

I've had it run for 2 weeks, but I generally plug it in at least every other day, and if I'm in the cafe with it, It's plugged in, because useing the ethernet and backlight would drop me to a matter of HOURS of life. ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Holder of the Compact Mac - -Stick of Justice, with Explodeing CRT head -Wand of Power with Shocking Flyback Transformer Tip ~~"We are all Mad here"~~

It seems Apple has no parts on hand whatsoever. The guy I talked to was really apologetic about it all though. I'm just going to try to get a dongle off eBay I guess. I'm keeping my eye on a few items actually. A battery, maybe a keyboard. I didn't get into the university course I was expecting to spend my money on so I'll just have to find an alternative place to blow it all ::eyes the newton:: I've been running my Newton off battery since the 29th of May. I recharged the battery when I got it (On the 28th) but I'm kind of worried about a memory effect so I haven't plugged it in since. Not really heavy use but the battery's lasting amazingly well. I'm starting to think I got a real sweet deal on this baby. It has very few scratches, all the clips, the battery works great... I'm happy So far the only problems are a scratch across the Apple logo and a small crack on the top hinge of the screen cover. Aside from that it's golden Private NoCash Localtalk Engineer 2nd Class 68ks Liberated: Ummm... Does a Newton count? Proud owner of a Newton 2100, a Quadra 610, and a Powerbook 520c...
