I’m not sure about any built-in polarity protection. I would assume not. The
wallwart needs to be 6vdc output, center negative.
For the ModelT I use this one from Tandy: Cat #26-3804, 8W, 6vdc,
400ma.
Good luck,
Bob

Unfortunately I'd didn't come with the wallwart but im sure I can find one
around the home. Have to remember to check center polarity with my multimeter
since I've read it doesn't have polarity protection on the DC input. Is this
true?

Sebastian,
Have you tried leaving it plugged into the wall wart (power supply) overnight?
Might not help, but easy to try.

Got a second M100 off eBay for a steal. With box, cables, manuals, etc. Its
pristine. Turned it on with fresh batteries and screen is fairly dim with knob
turned to max contrast and it flickers randomly, especially while typing.
Contrast does work but lowest looks as if off and only at max is the screen
readable but only at an angle. Any thoughts? Haven't opened it up yet... Thanks!
