As I said, USB wasn't working.  Windows listed a drive letter for the Zaurus, but couldn't see what was on the drive.  The Z would popup error dialogs saying Error AlertUSBStorage whenever I tried to access it in Windows.  A consistent if not all that helpful error message.

After some poking around, I ran the NVRAM checksum tests, which indicated a bad checksum in all the tests, specifically in /hdd2.  I ran the NVRAM full test just as I realized I didn't have a ROM image to flash back, and that's all she wrote.  My Z is now completely unresponsive.  Plugging in the adapter doesn't even light up the power LED.

Anyone have any ideas on how to revive my Z?

This is exactly the same as what happened to my C3K when I got my device from a local retailer in Taiwan.

I installed the script file from   the website shortly after I got my device. It ran well without any trouble in English and Japanese recognition. I encountered the same thing as I plug the device into the USB port of my laptop (Windows XP pro SP1, USB2.0). The C3K pop up the same message said: Error AlertUSBStorage. I can see the drive letter at my laptop but can't access the contents. Something happened when I entered the service menu and ran memory check. The LCD din't light-up anymore, even when I plug in the AC power. And later the AC power LED didn't light-up anymore.

I sent back my device to my local retailer. He found that it was the problem of the battery after some procedure of try-and-error. Now everything goes well at my C3K after he changed a new battery for me.  

Unfortunately, the problem of USB mass storage failure still exist. Not to mention the synchronization with the PC. I install the Japanese version of intelliSync from the bundled CD. It can synchronize awhile and then came to an abrupt stop when I ran the program. The same things happened when I ran the same procedure at another laptop.  

I don't know what things happened, but I suggest that you change a new battery. Maybe it can work again. Though the problems of USB storage and synchronization still exist.
