Yes, the eMate should run without a battery pack.

A few things to check:

  1. Are you using an original Newton AC adapter? The correct voltage and current rating is important.
  2. It’s possible that the display cable has been damaged by a broken spring in the display hinge.
  3. Does the display make any odd sounds when moved?
  4. Does the display flicker at all?
  5. Does the backlight work?
