Called sharp and they said that the Z has no operating system on it, and that they will have to flash it (how it got no os is beyond me, I know the images were fine, thats another story). I was told that there is a $50 inital diagnostic fee + $10 shipping fee. How much would it cost to reflash it. I'm looking for a ballpark figure. I'm on an extremely tight budget right now, so I need to know the cost.

- do you have a big enough CF card for thr flash to fit in ?
- have you copied the updater etc to the root directory (/) of the CF card ?
- have you renamed the files properly ?
- do the lights start blinking when you press the flashing key sequence ?

just some basic checks to do before and after...

Though I dont know that much about flashing the OZ, but maybe you can try with the standard Sharp rom (for the 5600).
