That's a common behavior. What happened is that the Newton ran out of juice
for some time and now the power manager put the Newton into a deep sleep.
Even after you plugged it, the power manager still thinks there is no power.
So, disconnect it and remove the battery. Wait a couple of hours. Then, plug
it back and do a reset. It should come back to life...
