2. Remove the battery
3. Switch battery switch to "on" position, but leave battery door open
4. Hold the D+B keys pressed, while inserting the battery

After some seconds, you see a Japanese SHARP boot screen and shortly after a login prompt.

Once you see the boot screen it is ok to:

(these steps will not reset your Zaurus)

• insert the power cable
• turn the battery switch to the "off" position

cannot type anything after seeing the prompt ∞

Wait a few minutes until you can see the cursor blinking, and things will begin to work again.

This was seen with weeXpc 1.7 final.
