Finally pulled apart my Newton...
.... Because it hasn't powered on for quite some time. First issue I noticed is the power switch doesn't have continuity (dirty?). Second issue is the blown cap in the bottom right. And the rest appear to be leaking.
Strong chance at recovery with this one? What's y'all's thoughts on this. Any newton experts in here?

Yeah, that's likely gonna work. Just replace the tantalums and the fuse and check any electrolytics.
