travistouchdown Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hello All; i have a chance to get a free Newton from a friend (finally, have wanted one forever!) He says "have the model 100, 120, even a 2000. You'll need to get a power supply for it." Is any of these models easier to find a power supply for, either OEM or realistically third party/generic? Thanks; and much appreciated if anyone has a source or links to the right supply that will fit any of these models. Was going for the 2000 because it probably has the most software/features/capabilities. Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheesestraws Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 If nobody's found it for you later, I'll find mine and send you the specs. It's slightly but not overly odd; I have a multi-voltage power supply that will do the job cheerfully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
travistouchdown Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Okay thanks so much! I figured there must be some cheap alternative with all the multi-voltage options out there these days. Appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheesestraws Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Yup, it's a reasonable voltage, though mildly unusual, with a standard barrel jack type affair where it plugs into the Newton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
travistouchdown Posted July 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Any word on what the required Volts and Mha are for each model? Best place to find universal power adapter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheesestraws Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Sorry, only just got off work and then dinner happened. I'll look for you now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheesestraws Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 7v, 0.5A DC, centre-positive connector. I'm in the UK so no idea where a good place to get one over there is, but I'd have thought any reasonable analogue-ly adjustable one should be able to deal with putting 7V out.

Hi I have exactly the same adapter and it works fine on both a MP120 and 130. I wonder if it could work as well on a MP2000? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will try to have a battery caddy 3d-printed anyway, or to rebuild the original battery pack, as soon as I get the mp2000 shipped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
