SL-C1000/3x00 Quickstart

Diag / service menu

Like all Zauri, the SL-C1000 / SL-C3x00 series has a diagnostic mode, too. Normally,
that mode is not necessary, but for the sake of completeness, the diagnose functions are
explained here.
Attention :
It is possible to delete the Flash ROM of the Zaurus completely in the service menu
(NAND FLASH FULL ERASE). Also for the SL-C3x00 you're able to format the harddisk.
The Zaurus would be transformed into a noble paperweight, without any function, if
this was done. The warranty would become invalid and the device would possibly be a
total loss.
Once again, Attention:
Apart from the key combination "DM", explained later, there exists another combinations
"D+" which causes a reaction by the Zaurus. There are no exciting functions to discover,
besides from operating modes you do not really want (except for the Command-line, see
page 35).

Accessing the service menu:

Set the battery switch to "Offen", remove the battery and wait a couple of seconds.
Re-insert the battery, press and hold the "D"+"M" keys. Connect the AC adapter, tick the
reset button and flip the battery switch back to "Betrieb".
Here upon, the Zaurus shows the first page of the service menu in the format portrait:

Navigation within the menu is possible with
the stylus, the arrow keys or the scroll
wheel.
A function is selected by "OK" and getting
back from anywhere is accomplished by
pressing "Cancel".
