>Recently my newton's battery just died, and I want to replace it
Is possible to repair it???
Yes, see http://www.pda-soft.de/mp2k_battery_pack.html
> How much does it cost???
The price of the batteries plus whatever you think your time is worth.
> Is possible to get a new one???
Yes, occasionally. But be aware that "new" in this context means
"never used, but manufactured in 1998 or earlier". Putting rechargeables
on a shelf for years isn't the best way to treat them.
> because I think that a used one could not last as much as I expect
This might also happen with a new or refurbished one. Kind of depends
on your expectation...
> Is there any other options to power the newton (like with normal
> rechargeable batteries, or something else)???.
There is a battery tray in which you could put either alkalines or standard
NiMH rechargeables. If you do the latter, you'd need some software
that takes care of making the Netwon adjust the levels of the battery
low and battery end warnings as it will think you have alkalines installed.
> BTW I'm living in london could I get the battery here in london???
> that way i wouldn't need to pay an expensive shipment.
Well, shipping packs I refurbish within Europe is 4 Euro or 4 US$.
Worldwide surface shipping is US$5. Which I don't consider *that*
expensive :-)
